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 · Oct 19, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,600 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 854. Morning rush is the busier period: 755 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 615 from 2:45 p.m. 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 is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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.
