Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 15, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 7,491 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 206. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,242 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,090 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Lawrence Ave W between Lawrence W and Lawrence E (46 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
