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 · Dec 6, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 365 southbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 228. Morning rush is the busier period: 121 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 100 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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.
Peak hours: 121 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 100 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
