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 · Oct 26, 2025 · weekend

The north leg carries the load — 2,909 southbound vehicles, or 57% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 6. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 480 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 32% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (365). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
