How fast traffic moves here

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

On Kipling Ave between Bychris Crt and St Andrews Blvd, 50 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,900 vehicles a day. St Andrews Blvd between Windsor Rd and Evernby Blvd measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2023). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Bychris Crt – St Andrews Blvd · 50 mMay 2022 · 3 days22,92459 km/h68 km/h74 km/h
St Andrews Blvd · Windsor Rd – Evernby Blvd · 225 mSep 2023 · 3 days3,32440 km/h48 km/h53 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.
