Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 14, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 9,930 southbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,639. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,199 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,301 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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.
