Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 19, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 8,228 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,293. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,798 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,233). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Markham Rd between Roman Abraham Blvd and Ellesmere Rd (253 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. Brimorton Dr between Meadowglen Pl and Clementine Sq measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Brimorton Dr (213 m away, 40 km/h limit), 8.0% of the 91,081 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
