Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 29, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 13,315 westbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,207. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,328 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,413 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Lawrence Ave W between Lawrence W and Lawrence E (82 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cork Ave (381 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 6,712 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.
