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 · Sep 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 535 westbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 67. Morning rush is the busier period: 124 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 105 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
