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 · Apr 23, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 17,755 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 121. Most cyclists arrived from the west (43 of 80). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,246 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,938). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
