Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 12, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,648 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 375. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 602 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 616 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 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.
