How do I find how much traffic there is at a specific location, or how many accidents there have been?
The Traffic Engineering Division counts traffic at all major intersections in the City once every three years. Traffic at smaller intersections will be counted as needed, due to special projects or investigations. These counts are stored in a database that is maintained by the Traffic Engineering Division. All intersection related collisions for which police respond or accident reports are filled out are also tracked and summarized in a computer database. This allows the City to identify safety problems that arise at specific intersections. Requests for traffic volume should be submitted to the Traffic Engineering Division at 707-543-3814. Requests for intersection collision reports should be directed to the Police Department at 707-543-3600.
