Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 20, 2003

The east leg carries the load — 3,586 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 51. Most cyclists arrived from the east (174 of 274). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,110 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,184 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,110 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,184 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
