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 · Nov 29, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,093 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 302. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 955 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 922 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.
