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 · May 31, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 1,086 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 301. Most cyclists arrived from the east (79 of 143). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 317 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (242). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
