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 · Aug 18, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 1,525 northbound vehicles, or 63% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 128. Most cyclists arrived from the south (367 of 759). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 231 vehicles in the hour from 6:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (204). Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
