Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 16, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 636 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 14 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 246 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 194 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Church St between King George Rd and Rosemount Ave, 169 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. George St between King St and Fern Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 41 km/h (Apr 2019).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Church St · King George Rd – Rosemount Ave · 169 mJun 2023 · 7 days2,94034 km/h42 km/h47 km/h
George St · King St – Fern Ave · 245 mApr 2019 · 2 days85230 km/h41 km/h46 km/h

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.
