Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 20, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 9,402 westbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 959. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,891 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,528). Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 Eglinton Ave W between Glenhaven St and Kane Ave (225 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 19,300 vehicles a day. Scott Rd between Holwood Ave and Cameron Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Mar 2015). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Scott Rd · Holwood Ave – Cameron Ave · 161 mMar 2015 · 2 days2,19231 km/h37 km/h40 km/h
Eglinton Ave W · Glenhaven St – Kane Ave · 225 mOct 2022 · 3 days19,33049 km/h61 km/h67 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.
