Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 12, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 13,901 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 7,396. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,216 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (4,275). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 4,275 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,216 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).
