Hwy 401 Collectors W Wilson Ave Ramp & Wilson Ave

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,317 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,690. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,905 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 81% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,052). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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.

Peak hours: 1,052 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,905 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
