Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 26, 2024 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 16,393 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7,684. Most cyclists arrived from the west (74 of 113). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,147 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,906). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Islington Ave between Princess Margaret Blvd and Eglinton Ave West Trl (254 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Islington Ave · Princess Margaret Blvd – Eglinton Ave West Trl · 254 mApr 2025 · 3 days24,31648 km/h57 km/h62 km/h

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.
