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 · Mar 20, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 5,315 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 250. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,037 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (934). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
