Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 9, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 413 westbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 260. Morning rush is the busier period: 205 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 173 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.9% 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 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
