Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 8, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 3,787 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 708. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,174 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,204 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 Vaughan Rd between Winnett Ave and Atlas Ave (40 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h.

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.
