Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend
The west leg carries the load — 14,812 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 9,608. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,035 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 4,166 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 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.
Peak hours: 4,035 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 4,166 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
