Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,757 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 989. Most cyclists arrived from the east (182 of 396). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,082 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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.
