Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 29, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 16,408 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7,161. Most cyclists arrived from the west (50 of 112). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,576 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,800 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Eglinton Ave W between Eglinton Ave West Trl and Royal York Rd (394 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 72 km/h. That segment carries about 36,100 vehicles a day. Royal York Rd between La Rose Ave and Summitcrest Dr measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Dec 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Royal York Rd (323 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.6% of the 62,670 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
