Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 17,566 westbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7,583. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,670 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (4,039). Trucks and buses were 8.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 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 most recent midblock count on Jane St between Hullmar Dr and Steeles Ave W (127 m away, Jun 2016) recorded volume only — about 29,614 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Jane St · Hullmar Dr – Steeles Ave W · 127 mJun 2016 · 3 days29,614
Steeles Ave W · Murray Ross Pkwy – Jane St · 196 mMay 2014 · 3 days48,163

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.
