Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 26, 2024 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,102 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 9,051 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the east (68 of 169). Evening rush dominates here: 3,695 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 3,023 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,023 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,695 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
