How fast traffic moves here

On Knowlton Dr between Lawndale Rd and Lochleven Dr, 76 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2005 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on 96 Mason Rd (351 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 23,546 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
