Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 22, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 5,651 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 93. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,160 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,071). 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
