Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 19,564 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,906. Most cyclists arrived from the west (82 of 160). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,981 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (3,287). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Norfinch Dr between Finch Ave W and Finch Corridor Trl (220 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave W · Pelican Gt – Oakdale Rd · 75 mNov 2011 · 3 days31,430
Norfinch Dr · Finch Ave W – Finch Corridor Trl · 220 mJul 2023 · 2 days6,80650 km/h62 km/h69 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.
