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 · Nov 19, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 8,508 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 403. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,920 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 1,529 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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.
