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 · Sep 20, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,140 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 226. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,024 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,001 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.
