Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 31, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 9,133 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 297. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,790 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,508). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
