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 22, 2013

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 4,182 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,109. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,467 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,247 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.6% 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 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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.

Peak hours: 1,467 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,247 from 4:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
