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 · Oct 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 14,530 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 489. Most cyclists arrived from the north (34 of 41). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,541 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,082). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
