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 Silverstone Dr between Strathavon Dr and Netherly Dr (189 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mt. Olive Dr (360 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 30,140 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
