Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 12,878 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,444. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,495 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,827). 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 2 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 counter on Lawrence Ave W between Memorial Park Trl and Riverstone Dr (141 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Hickory Tree Rd between Lawrence Ave W and Bellevue Cres measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (May 2014). The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Hickory Tree Road between Lawrence Ave W and Bellvue Crescent.

Traffic calming

    4 speed humps

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.
