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 · Sep 23, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 1,593 northbound vehicles, or 84% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6. Most cyclists arrived from the north (77 of 143). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 306 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 147% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (124). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
