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 · Oct 23, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,815 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 609. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,031 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,008 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.
