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 · Mar 28, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 1,059 northbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 686. Morning rush is the busier period: 670 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 594 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
