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 · Apr 8, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 7,324 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 520. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,609 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,578 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
