Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 13,169 northbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,895. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,421 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,885). Trucks and buses were 5.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months 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

The City's counter on Lawrence Ave W between Duckworth St and Martini Dr (234 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 15,700 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Tedder St (307 m away, 30 km/h limit), 7.0% of the 1,308 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
