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 · Apr 16, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 16,443 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 8,825. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,180 vehicles in the hour from 5:45 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (2,848). Trucks and buses were 9.1% 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 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,848 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,180 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
