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 · Oct 12, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 8,781 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 377. Most cyclists arrived from the east (32 of 64). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,487 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,290). 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 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.
