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 · Jan 13, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 1,636 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 687. Morning rush is the busier period: 610 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 559 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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: 610 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 559 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).
