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 · Dec 14, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 740 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 26. Morning rush is the busier period: 366 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 234 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
