Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 8,741 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,112. Most cyclists arrived from the north (66 of 102). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,761 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,201). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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

The City's counter on Trudelle St between Trudelle Park Trl and McCowan Rd (389 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 4,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danforth Rd · Eglinton Ave E – No Frills Lane · 260 mMay 2017 · 3 days11,260
Trudelle St · Trudelle Park Trl – McCowan Rd · 389 mMar 2023 · 3 days4,50340 km/h48 km/h52 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.
