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 · Apr 3, 2018

The north leg carries the load — 5,175 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 525. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,833 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,679 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 1,833 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,679 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).
