Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 6,292 eastbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5,003. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,584 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,688 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
Peak hours: 3,584 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,688 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
