Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Traffic calming

    8 speed humps

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
