The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,085 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,114 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% 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.
Peak hours: 2,085 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,114 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
