The City's own feed for Liberty & Dufferin, replaced every few minutes. This card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds.
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 3, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,435 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 101 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,166 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,041 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,041 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,166 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
