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 · Dec 11, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,612 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,097. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,324 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,071). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
