Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 4, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 8,702 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 5,913. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,054 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 7:00 a.m. (2,448). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Burnhamthorpe Rd between Echo Valley Rd and Lorraine Gdns (312 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 21,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Goswell Rd – Burnhamthorpe Rd · 110 mFeb 2016 · 7 days11,844
Burnhamthorpe Rd · Echo Valley Rd – Lorraine Gdns · 312 mApr 2026 · 3 days21,77554 km/h60 km/h66 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.
