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 most recent midblock count on Queen St W between University Ave and Simcoe St (132 m away, Nov 2019) recorded volume only — about 6,604 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on St. Patrick St (399 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 35,769 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
