Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend

The south leg carries the load — 8,416 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 716. Most cyclists arrived from the south (36 of 78). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,764 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 39% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,271). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,271 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,764 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
