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 · May 29, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,295 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 782. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 329 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (281). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
