Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 25, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 5,979 eastbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,400. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,348 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,236). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 St George St between Prince Arthur Ave and Lowther Ave (202 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 8,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (379 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 29,792 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
