Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 24, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 16,374 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 11,595 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,550 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 4,188 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 16,177 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.
