The north leg carries the load — 10,236 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 644. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,087 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,672). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).
