Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
