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 · Nov 8, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 19,564 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,906. Most cyclists arrived from the west (82 of 160). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,981 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (3,287). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 3,287 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,981 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).
