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 28, 2023
The north leg carries the load — 8,511 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 56. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,223 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,134 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,223 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,134 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
