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 · Nov 30, 2016

The east leg carries the load — 7,865 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 464. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,808 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,669 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.
