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 29, 2001

The east leg carries the load — 1,681 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 558. Morning rush is the busier period: 947 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 554 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.
