The latest City count averages about 930 vehicles an hour over its 14-hour span, 80% of the median counted intersection. There is roughly one pedestrian for every 5 vehicles, a higher share of people on foot than the typical counted intersection (one per 13). That comes with about 7.9 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — 6.1 per 10,000 counted vehicles, in line with the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions rose 19%, from 36 in 2016–2020 to 43 in 2021–2025. About one in 40 of those collisions involved a death or serious injury.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Apr 16, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 5,175 eastbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 790. Most cyclists arrived from the west (70 of 149). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,684 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 84% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (915). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 The Pond Rd between Shoreham Dr and Hoover Rd (209 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 6,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Shoreham Dr · Murray Ross Pkwy – The Pond Rd · 98 mJan 2008 · 3 days11,187
The Pond Rd · Shoreham Dr – Hoover Rd · 209 mMay 2013 · 24 h6,64353 km/h61 km/h67 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.
