Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 9,277 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5,204. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,731 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 45% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,888). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Markham Rd between Cougar Crt and Dunelm St (308 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 23,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave E · Centre St – Markham Rd · 69 mSep 2019 · 7 days12,149
Markham Rd · Cougar Crt – Dunelm St · 308 mNov 2025 · 3 days23,43450 km/h58 km/h64 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.
