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 · Feb 28, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,141 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 52. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,174 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,223 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
