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

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 5, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 850 northbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 75. Most cyclists arrived from the west (179 of 339). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 232 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 233 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
