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 · May 21, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 13,583 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 186. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,430 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 29% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,886). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,886 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,430 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
