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 27, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 630 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 127. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 182 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 181 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 182 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 181 from 5:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
