Traffic volume14-hour count · May 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 13,638 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 3,045 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,915 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,064 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
