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 · Oct 21, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 13,929 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,051. Most cyclists arrived from the north (61 of 122). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,689 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 2,153 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
