Traffic volume

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

The north leg carries the load — 16,851 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 661. Most cyclists arrived from the north (56 of 116). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,748 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,874 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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 Rockford Rd between Bathurst St and Stonedene Blvd (113 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Patricia Ave (322 m away, 30 km/h limit), 40% of the 44,885 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
