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 · Jun 25, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 318 northbound vehicles, or 78% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 4. Most cyclists arrived from the north (224 of 558). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 45 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 50% above the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. (30). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
