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

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 22, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 9,664 northbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 184. Most cyclists arrived from the north (87 of 130). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,803 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 54% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,171). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
