Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 24, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,771 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 59% of the total, against 1,919 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,987 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 1,580 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 1,580 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,987 from 6:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
