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 · Jun 16, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 11,110 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,675. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,178 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,151 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,178 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,151 from 5:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

How fast traffic moves here
