Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 12, 2026

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 11,785 vehicles entering from the south to 14,148 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,785 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (3,983). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 (231 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 (291 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.
