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 15, 2018 · weekend

The east leg carries the load — 2,638 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 243. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 815 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 46% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (557). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Peak hours: 557 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 815 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
