Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 29, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 13,315 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,207. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,328 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,413 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
