Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Apr 4, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,547 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 592 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,346 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,010 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Jane St between Milo Park Gt and Shoreham Dr, 165 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,000 vehicles a day. Driftwood Ave between Driftwood Crt and Jane St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Feb 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Gosford Blvd (194 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 12,955 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
