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 · Mar 22, 2018

The north leg carries the load — 1,597 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 274. Morning rush is the busier period: 609 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 442 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 9 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.
