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 · Jan 13, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 1,083 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 164. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 240 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 253 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
