Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 23, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,282 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 740 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 919 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 717 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 717 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 919 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
On Linkwood Lane between Spanbridge Rd and Linkwood Lane Park Trl, 152 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Spanbridge Rd between Grenoble Dr and Linkwood Lane measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Grenoble Dr (308 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.9% of the 74,479 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
