Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 28, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 2,295 eastbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 762. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,176 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,096 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

    9 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
