The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,193 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 919. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 91). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,329 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,227). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
