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 · Dec 16, 2009
The west leg carries the load — 6,797 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 322. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,615 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,529 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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.
Peak hours: 2,615 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,529 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
