Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Sep 19, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 14,403 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 381 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (75 of 182). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,449 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,631 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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 Brockley Dr between Liam Foudy Crt and Akil Thomas Gdns, 396 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2025 put the average speed at 26 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Brockley Dr (276 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 8,985 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
