Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 17, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 11,140 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,088. Most cyclists arrived from the north (46 of 87). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,228 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,998). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
