Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 22, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 12,752 northbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,959. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 5,214 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,420 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dufferin St between Finch Ave W and G Ross Lord Park Trl (173 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 45,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave W · Wilmington Ave – Dufferin St · 95 mNov 2011 · 3 days21,651
Dufferin St · Finch Ave W – G Ross Lord Park Trl · 173 mJul 2024 · 3 days45,78345 km/h62 km/h69 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.
