Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 20, 2001

The west leg carries the load — 1,075 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 97. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 445 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (386). Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 386 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 445 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).
