Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 30, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 6,081 northbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 17. Most cyclists arrived from the east (817 of 1,845). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 895 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 920 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
