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 · Apr 21, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 5,856 westbound vehicles, or 96% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 248. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,083 of 1,127). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 615 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (484). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
