Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 5,598 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 955. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,887 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,722). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
