Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 10, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,533 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 127 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (259 of 466). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,486 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,515 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On McRoberts Ave between Lane N of St Clair and E of Caledonia and Lane S of Norman and E of Caledonia, 138 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. 12 speed humps slow traffic on McRoberts Avenue between St Clair Ave W and Rogers Rd.

Traffic calming

  • McRoberts Avenue · St Clair Ave W – Rogers Rd
    12 speed humps

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.
