Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 10,471 westbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7,722. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,441 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 43% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,410). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 counter on Albion Rd between Sanagan Rd and Kipling Ave (171 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 59 km/h. That segment carries about 27,000 vehicles a day. Kipling Ave between Penlea Ave and Finch Ave W measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Apr 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Albion Rd · Sanagan Rd – Kipling Ave · 171 mMay 2025 · 3 days26,98151 km/h59 km/h65 km/h
Kipling Ave · Penlea Ave – Finch Ave W · 287 mApr 2025 · 3 days20,22143 km/h53 km/h58 km/h

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.
