Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 13, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 9,976 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,115. Most cyclists arrived from the west (741 of 1,535). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,434 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,511 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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 Dupont St between Perth Ave and Franklin Ave (280 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. Osler St between Cariboo Ave and Pelham Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Jul 2023). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (379 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 21,320 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Osler Street between Dupont St and Cariboo Ave.

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.
