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 · Jun 19, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 17,752 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 608. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,675 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,206). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,206 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,675 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
