Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 4, 2025

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 9,485 vehicles entering from the west to 9,942 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the east (569 of 907).

The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
