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 14, 2021

The west leg carries the load — 445 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 150. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 176 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 187 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
