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 · Dec 19, 2019
The north leg carries the load — 6,446 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 134. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,989 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,797). Trucks and buses were 9.8% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,797 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,989 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).
