Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,568 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 3,381 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (533 of 1,260). Evening rush dominates here: 1,536 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 1,092 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Front St W between Portland St and Bathurst St, 111 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Front St W · Portland St – Bathurst St · 111 mNov 2022 · 3 days8,09335 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Bathurst St · Stewart St – King St W · 326 mMay 2015 · 7 days9,852

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.
