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 · Apr 8, 2014
The south leg carries the load — 7,307 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 174. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,353 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,993). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.
Peak hours: 1,993 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,353 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
