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 · May 28, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 10,281 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 398. Most cyclists arrived from the south (39 of 67). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,762 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,681 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
