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 · Oct 27, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 632 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 190. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 252 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 258 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
