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 · Apr 16, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 11,687 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 331. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,261 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,696). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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.
