Traffic volume8-hour count · May 23, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,886 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 16 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (226 of 312). Evening rush dominates here: 829 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 750 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

Peak hours: 750 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 829 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
