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 · May 12, 1993

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,100 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 255. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,722 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,608 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 33 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1993, 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.
