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 · Jun 29, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,600 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 121. Most cyclists arrived from the west (325 of 507). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,421 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,011). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
