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 · Jun 17, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,985 northbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 109. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 637 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (541). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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.
