Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 8,784 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 671. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,971 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 98% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (996). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Surrey Ave and Inniswood Dr (113 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 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.
