Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 12,286 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,501. Most cyclists arrived from the south (47 of 66). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,552 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,709). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's counter on Elmhurst Dr between Endicott Ave and Muncey Ave (201 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 6,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Golfdown Dr (200 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 34,674 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
