How fast traffic moves here

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

On Kingston Rd between Midland Ave and Chine Dr, 210 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 70 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,600 vehicles a day. Midland Ave between Park St and Aylesworth Ave measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Midland Ave (283 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 98,935 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
