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 · Sep 24, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 1,911 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 872. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 665 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 75% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (380). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
