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 · Apr 30, 2014

The north leg carries the load — 2,643 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 105. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 961 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 961 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.8% 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 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.
