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 1, 2023 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 4,012 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 760. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,230 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 72% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (716). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 716 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,230 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2019 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 40% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.
