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 · Dec 5, 2006

The east leg carries the load — 3,867 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 64. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,255 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 34% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (939). Trucks and buses were 15.3% 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 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.
