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 · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,944 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,987. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,050 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 56% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,311). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
