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 · 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is 26 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.
Peak hours: 602 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 616 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).
