Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 13, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 22,398 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 10,238 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (148 of 218). Evening rush dominates here: 4,892 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 3,516 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
