Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 12, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 7,972 eastbound vehicles, or 27% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6,362. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,311 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,378 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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 Bloor St W between Cliveden Ave and Brentwood Rd S (141 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 17,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Royal York Rd · Lane N of Bloor and E of Royal York – Birchview Blvd · 75 mMay 2016 · 7 days8,989
Bloor St W · Cliveden Ave – Brentwood Rd S · 141 mApr 2026 · 3 days17,88630 km/h39 km/h44 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.
