Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 13, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 18,806 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,223. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,504 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,695 from 3:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,504 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,695 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
