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 16, 2026

Peak hours: 4,131 vehicles in the hour from 7:15 a.m. and 4,413 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
