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 · Aug 18, 2026
The east leg carries the load — 13,569 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 85. Most cyclists arrived from the east (42 of 67). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,233 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,938). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,938 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,233 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
