Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 7, 2014 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 10,244 and 12,228 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 4,752 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 3,588 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.
