Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 18, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 10,579 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,547. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,335 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,126 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Royal York Rd between Sinclair St and Lane S of the Queensway and W of Royal York (129 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 11,200 vehicles a day. The Queensway between Avon Park Dr and Smith Cres measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Royal York Rd · Sinclair St – Lane S of the Queensway and W of Royal York · 129 mMar 2011 · 24 h11,21949 km/h58 km/h63 km/h
The Queensway · Avon Park Dr – Smith Cres · 218 mJun 2025 · 3 days28,68641 km/h52 km/h57 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.
