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 · Nov 22, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 2,070 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 704. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 618 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (447). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.3%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

From the north704southbound · 24 bikes · 0.3% heavy

Peak hours: 447 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 618 from 2:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
