Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2024
The east leg carries the load — 15,566 westbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,364. Most cyclists arrived from the east (75 of 103). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,987 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,916 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,987 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,916 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
