Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 22, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 7,383 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,042. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,455 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,071). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Cedar Dr between Eglinton Ave E and Gatesview Ave (162 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gatesview Ave (333 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 13,773 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Cedar Drive between Eglinton Ave E and Dunelm St.

Traffic calming

    5 speed humps

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.
