Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 10,903 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 895. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,191 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,698). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Bathurst St between Brenthall Ave and Finch Corridor Trl (153 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave W (300 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.1% of the 66,192 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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.
