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

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 8, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 17,014 westbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 683. Most cyclists arrived from the west (35 of 43). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,161 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 2,072 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
