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 · Jan 12, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 3,871 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 987. Most cyclists arrived from the west (294 of 565). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,314 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,301 from 4:45 p.m. 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.
