Evening rush dominates here: 1,987 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 1,580 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Yorkdale Rd between Hwy 401 Collectors E and Hwy 401 W, 250 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2023 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,600 vehicles a day.

Yorkdale Rd · Hwy 401 Collectors E – Hwy 401 W · 250 mOct 2023 · 3 days15,56851 km/h59 km/h65 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.
