Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 14, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 5,317 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 44. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,797 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,275). Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Gerrard St E between Main St and Lane E of Main St and S of Gerrard (251 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in January 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 12,000 vehicles a day.

At the school-zone speed sign on Main St (235 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 155,484 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.
