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 · Nov 1, 2023
The south leg carries the load — 1,745 northbound vehicles, or 61% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4. Most cyclists arrived from the south (56 of 127). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 292 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 22% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (239). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 239 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 292 from 3:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
