How fast traffic moves here

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

On Vaughan Rd between Humewood Dr and Cherrywood Ave, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,700 vehicles a day. Humewood Dr between Maplewood Ave and Valewood Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2017). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Vaughan Rd (78 m away, 30 km/h limit), 44% of the 175,689 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Humewood Drive between Valewood Ave and Vaughan Rd (installed 2006).

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.
