Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 24, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 17,356 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,080. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,091 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,692). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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.

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 Burnhamthorpe Rd between Meadowbank Rd and Blaketon Rd (194 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 10,900 vehicles a day. The East Mall between Montebello Gdns and Keane Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Mar 2019). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on The East Mall (311 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.7% of the 2,447 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
