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 1, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 3,483 westbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6. Most cyclists arrived from the west (83 of 195). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 560 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 597 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
