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 19, 2011

The east leg carries the load — 4,004 westbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 400. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,595 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,693 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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.
