Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 18, 2024

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 11,181 and 13,909 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,307 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,226 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Bathurst St between Lawrence Ave W and Glengarry Ave (43 m away, Mar 2021) recorded volume only — about 15,714 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.
