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 · Aug 2, 2017

The north leg carries the load — 1,906 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 232. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 722 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 68% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (430). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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.
