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 · Sep 15, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 14,151 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,441. Most cyclists arrived from the east (45 of 84). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,215 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,239 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
