The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 3, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 8,885 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 75. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,810 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,504). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).
