Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 22, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,745 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 699. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 56). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,179 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,743). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Pharmacy Ave between Dewey Dr and Kellyvale Rd (332 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 19,100 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Princeway Dr · Lynvalley Cres – Pharmacy Ave · 47 mNov 2007 · 3 days1,770
Pharmacy Ave · Dewey Dr – Kellyvale Rd · 332 mJul 2024 · 3 days19,07747 km/h54 km/h59 km/h

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.
