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 · Mar 26, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 8,017 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,214. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,539 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,112). Trucks and buses were 7.6% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,112 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,539 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
