Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 22, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 5,998 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 833. Most cyclists arrived from the north (89 of 187). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 972 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 924 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
