Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 15, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 5,108 westbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 60. Most cyclists arrived from the west (449 of 945). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,035 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,015 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
