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 · May 2, 2018

The south leg carries the load — 2,269 northbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2. Most cyclists arrived from the south (76 of 166). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,003 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (915). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.
