Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 7, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 181 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 79. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 84 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 35% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (62). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
