Traffic volume

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

The east leg carries the load — 15,784 westbound vehicles, or 69% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1. Most cyclists arrived from the south (599 of 1,391). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,833 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,898 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% 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 Richmond St E between Ontario St and Berkeley St (169 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Richmond St E · Ontario St – Berkeley St · 169 mOct 2005 · 24 h19,73648 km/h57 km/h64 km/h
Parliament St · Derby St – King St E · 244 mSep 2012 · 3 days5,944

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.
