Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 18, 2018

The west leg carries the load — 5,251 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 143. Most cyclists arrived from the west (428 of 853). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,315 from 4:30 p.m. 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 (73 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. Perth Ave between Dupont St and Lane N of Dupont and E of Perth measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2012). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 14 speed humps slow traffic on Perth Avenue between Sterling Rd and Dupont St.

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.
