Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 18,437 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 7,462 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (53 of 81). Evening rush dominates here: 4,365 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 4,006 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
