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 9, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 7,158 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 678. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,405 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,483 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
