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 · Mar 8, 2001
The south leg carries the load — 1,323 northbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 277. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 556 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 541 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 556 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 541 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
