Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 30, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,164 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,878 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,828 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,971 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Kipling Ave between Gracey Blvd and The Westway, 116 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2023 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,900 vehicles a day. The Westway between Shadwick Dr and Fulford Pl measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 58 km/h (Dec 2021).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Gracey Blvd – The Westway · 116 mJul 2023 · 2 days15,90354 km/h62 km/h68 km/h
The Westway · Shadwick Dr – Fulford Pl · 300 mDec 2021 · 24 h9,80551 km/h58 km/h63 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.
