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 · Feb 7, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 724 southbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 526. Most cyclists arrived from the north (71 of 144). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 327 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (299). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
Peak hours: 299 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 327 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
