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 · May 8, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 20,111 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 339. Most cyclists arrived from the south (46 of 50). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,003 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,211 from 6:15 p.m. 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,003 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,211 from 6:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
