Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 30, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 13,066 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,380. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,803 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,263). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Glamorgan Ave between Kennedy Rd and Dundalk Dr (132 m away, Mar 2015) recorded volume only — about 3,042 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Glamorgan Avenue between Kennedy Rd and Dundalk Dr (installed 2025).

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.
