Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 8, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 3,185 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 274. Morning rush is the busier period: 1,259 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 1,036 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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.
