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 · Nov 2, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 1,402 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 280. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 481 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 511 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
