Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 24, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,660 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 228 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (95 of 171). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,515 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,548 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years 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

On Keele St between Ypres Rd and Holwood Ave, 48 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2024 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. Holwood Ave between Lane W of Scott and S of Cameron and Keele St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Nov 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Bicknell Ave (187 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 52,905 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
