Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,380 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 860 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 78). Evening rush dominates here: 2,146 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,448 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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

On Irwin Rd between West Humber Trl and Turpin Ave, 219 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Golfdown Dr (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 34,674 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
