Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 11,924 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,592. Most cyclists arrived from the west (34 of 84). Morning rush is the busier period: 2,305 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 1,948 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Old Forest Hill Rd between Vesta Dr and Eglinton Ave W (162 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 4,400 vehicles a day. Eglinton Ave W between Bathurst St and Peveril Hill N measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (118 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 78,113 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Old Forest Hill Road between Eglinton Ave W and Hilltop Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.
