Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 28, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 8,424 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,936. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,607 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,647 from 4:45 p.m. 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,607 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,647 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
