The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 12, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 11,043 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,411. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,313 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,294 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
