Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2026 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,375 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 1,119 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,341 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:00 p.m., against 1,031 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
