Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 9,462 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 914. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,840 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,343). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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 Duncanwoods Dr between Finch Ave W and Cherrylawn Ave (143 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in August 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. Ardwick Blvd between Brubeck Rd and Peterson Dr measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ardwick Blvd (358 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 10,418 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
