Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 14,737 westbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 9,453. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,161 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (3,178). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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.

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 Pharmacy Ave between Alvinston Rd and Eglinton Ave E (139 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Pharmacy Ave · Alvinston Rd – Eglinton Ave E · 139 mNov 2022 · 24 h16,81245 km/h57 km/h63 km/h
Eglinton Sq · Victoria Park Ave – Eglinton Ave E · 340 mOct 2014 · 7 days9,944

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.
