Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,881 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 63 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (588 of 1,440). Evening rush dominates here: 1,452 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 1,052 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Niagara St between Lane E of Bathurst and S of Wellington and Bathurst St, 26 m from the corner, a 7-day count in July 2026 put the average speed at 21 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 30 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Niagara Street between King St W and Bathurst St.

Traffic calming

  • Niagara Street · King St W – Bathurst St
    6 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.
