Martin Grove Rd & Smithfield Park Trl & Colony Park Trl

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 29, 2016

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 3,966 and 4,000 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,482 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,289 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 1,289 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,482 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
