How fast traffic moves here

On Davenport Rd between Marchmount Rd and Shaw St, 177 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rains Ave between Melita Ave and Davenport Rd measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Feb 2020). At the school-zone speed sign on Melita Cres (151 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 15,763 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
