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 2, 2019

The north leg carries the load — 5,611 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 27. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,000 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,707). Trucks and buses were 10.5% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.
