Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 26, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 16,887 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,693. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,639 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,763 from 5:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.0% 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 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

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.
