Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 14, 1999

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 132 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 83. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 60 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (44). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
