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 · May 10, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 5,870 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 95. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,878 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,605). 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 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,605 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,878 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
