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 · Aug 23, 2006

The south leg carries the load — 595 northbound vehicles, or 86% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 97. Most cyclists arrived from the south (105 of 153). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 98 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 93 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.
