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 · Oct 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 935 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 16. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 207 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 200 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 207 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 200 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
