The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 1,387 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 126.

The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 403 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 318 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
