Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 13, 2014

The north leg carries the load — 6,029 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,183. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,200 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,188 from 4:30 p.m. 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 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 York Gate Blvd between Hullmar Dr and Jane St (75 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 6,000 vehicles a day. Stong Crt between Driftwood Ave and Jane St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Jul 2021). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Jane St (76 m away, 30 km/h limit), 66% of the 218,385 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
