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 · Nov 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,704 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,127. Morning rush is the busier period: 723 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:30 a.m., compared with 649 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
