How fast traffic moves here

On Beaumonde Heights Dr between Taysham Cres and Monterrey Dr, 370 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2018 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Monterrey Dr between Beaumonde Heights Dr and Amaron Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Jun 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Monterrey Dr (68 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 2,586 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
