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 · Jan 20, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 22,861 eastbound vehicles, or 78% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 225. Most cyclists arrived from the west (44 of 69). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,432 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 2,385 from 3:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,432 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 2,385 from 3:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
