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 12, 2019

The north leg carries the load — 6,454 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 141. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,832). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
