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 · Dec 14, 2021

The south leg carries the load — 5,628 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 91. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,900 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 81% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,052). Trucks and buses were 7.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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.
