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 · Feb 16, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,138 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 347. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 944 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (851). Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
