Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Oct 1, 2020

The east leg carries the load — 5,238 westbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 554. Most cyclists arrived from the east (63 of 144). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,125 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 68% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,264). Trucks and buses were 10.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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

The City's counter on Thirty Seventh St between James St and Lake Shore Blvd W (130 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 2-day count in May 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Thirty Seventh St · James St – Lake Shore Blvd W · 130 mMay 2013 · 2 days1,17838 km/h47 km/h50 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.
