This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,463 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 526 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (53 of 113). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 794 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 822 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 794 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 822 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
