Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 20, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,539 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,025 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (209 of 305). Evening rush dominates here: 1,163 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 704 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 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

On Kingston Rd between Rosetta McClain Gardens Trl and Glen Everest Rd, 49 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2022 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 14,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (336 m away, 50 km/h limit), 16% of the 118,021 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
