Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 8, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 4,617 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,321. Most cyclists arrived from the west (713 of 1,664). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,633 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,365). Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on Broadview Ave between Lane S of Queen and W of Broadview and Queen St E (27 m away, May 2014) recorded volume only — about 5,151 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (352 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 208,455 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
