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 · May 21, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,288 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 301. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,418 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,198). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Speeds here, last measured in 2021
