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 · Apr 17, 2012

The north leg carries the load — 6,415 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 420. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,964 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,773). Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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.
