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 15, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 11,613 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,348. Most cyclists arrived from the east (101 of 179). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,099 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,206 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 2,099 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,206 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
