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 11, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 12,293 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,457. Most cyclists arrived from the east (98 of 228). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,632 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,739 from 4:45 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
