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 · Jan 15, 2020

The west leg carries the load — 1,737 eastbound vehicles, or 59% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,229. Most cyclists arrived from the west (35 of 57). Morning rush is the busier period: 550 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 502 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 12.7% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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.
