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 · Oct 29, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 8,077 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 17. Most cyclists arrived from the south (37 of 69). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,393 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,201 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
