Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 22, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 7,337 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,446. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,184 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,717). Trucks and buses were 11.5% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,717 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,184 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2018 was the peak year (48 collisions), and 2025 closed with 40. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 61 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.
