Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 12, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 4,753 eastbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 3,445. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,578 vehicles in the hour from 6:45 p.m., 82% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (866). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 866 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,578 from 6:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
