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 · Apr 29, 2023 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 8,355 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,032. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,769 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 243% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (807). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 807 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,769 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
