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 · Jun 28, 2018

The west leg carries the load — 4,981 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,044. Most cyclists arrived from the west (583 of 1,182). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,810 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,891 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.
