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 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 824 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 133. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 215 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (158). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).
