How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Royal York Rd between Kingsgrove Blvd and Usher Ave, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,100 vehicles a day. Kingsgrove Blvd between Willingdon Blvd and Royal York Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2025).

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.
