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 · Jun 10, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 21,054 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,711. Most cyclists arrived from the west (70 of 164). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,713 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,713 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).
