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 · Sep 14, 2021

The north leg carries the load — 3,306 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 37. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,000 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 1,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,000 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
