Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 13,967 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 390. Most cyclists arrived from the south (37 of 61). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,085). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Victoria Park Ave between Ivordale Cres and Combermere Dr (20 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 24-hour count in February 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 36,600 vehicles a day. Combermere Dr between Victoria Park Ave and Pinemore Cres measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Nov 2012). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Ivordale Cres – Combermere Dr · 20 mFeb 2005 · 24 h36,59850 km/h64 km/h71 km/h
Combermere Dr · Victoria Park Ave – Pinemore Cres · 121 mNov 2012 · 24 h74832 km/h39 km/h43 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.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
