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 30, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 13,936 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,040. Most cyclists arrived from the east (80 of 176). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,395 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,787). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
