Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 2, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 8,107 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 2,173. Most cyclists arrived from the south (129 of 307). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,755 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,596). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

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.
