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 · Oct 8, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 5,195 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,177. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,416 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,064). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

From the north2,845southbound · 40 bikes · 2.7% heavy

From the east4,594westbound · 57 bikes · 2.9% heavy
From the south1,177northbound · 25 bikes · 2.1% heavy

Peak hours: 1,064 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,416 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
