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 · Jun 19, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,209 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 800. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,032 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,065 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 13.3% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,032 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,065 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
