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 · Apr 9, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 10,915 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 50. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,931 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,761). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
