Davenport & Howland

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,505 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 60% of the total, against 115 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (48 of 90). Evening rush dominates here: 1,038 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 886 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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.

Peak hours: 886 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,038 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Speeds here, last measured in 2006

On Howland Ave between Lane N of Bridgman and E of Howland and Lane S of Davenport and E of Howland, 122 m from the corner, a 5-day count in June 2006 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Howland Avenue between Davenport Rd and Bridgman Ave.
