Traffic volume

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

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,013 northbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,854 vehicles in the hour from 2:45 p.m., 93% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (960). Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% 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 Biscayne Blvd and Singleton Rd (166 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 12,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Pharmacy Ave · Biscayne Blvd – Singleton Rd · 166 mSep 2022 · 3 days12,17051 km/h59 km/h65 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.
