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 · May 6, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 1,204 northbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 820. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 567 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 42% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (399). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 399 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 567 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).
