This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 14,203 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 470. Most cyclists arrived from the north (70 of 129). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,218 from 4:15 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
