Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Feb 19, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 9,711 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 259. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,687 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,748 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
