Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 12, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,831 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 646 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,891 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,715 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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

On Brimley Rd between Knob Hill Park Trl and Gully Dr, 48 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Citadel Dr between Bimbrok Rd and Brimley Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Oct 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Brimley Rd (119 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.4% of the 32,864 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
