Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 3, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 25,911 eastbound vehicles, or 70% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,229. Most cyclists arrived from the west (94 of 176). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,958 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (5,312). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.
