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 · Nov 14, 2005

The west leg carries the load — 8,174 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 101. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,384 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,564 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

Peak hours: 2,384 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,564 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
