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 · Feb 19, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 2,033 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 169. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 635 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (464). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 464 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 635 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
