Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 20, 2007

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 7,871 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 205. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,353 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,084). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.

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 Danforth Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Thora Ave (187 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h.

The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (218 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 119,220 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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.
