Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 22, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 18,116 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,272. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,558 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 51% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,362). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Kingston Rd between Fred Johnson Park Trl and Muir Dr (275 m away) recorded an average of 66 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 17,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Fred Johnson Park Trl – Muir Dr · 275 mApr 2004 · 24 h17,63066 km/h73 km/h79 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.
