Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 8, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 12,656 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 8,383. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,893 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,283). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% 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.

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 St Phillips Rd between Braywin Dr and Riverview Hts (232 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 15,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dixon Rd · Inchcliffe Cres – St Phillips Rd · 99 mNov 2011 · 3 days11,083
St Phillips Rd · Braywin Dr – Riverview Hts · 232 mMay 2022 · 3 days15,22341 km/h48 km/h53 km/h
Royal York Rd · The Westway – Royaleigh Ave · 284 mMay 2016 · 7 days9,654

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.
