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 · Aug 10, 2006

The east leg carries the load — 291 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 22. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 111 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (79). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.
