Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 16, 2025

Most cyclists arrived from the south (64 of 129). Evening rush dominates here: 1,619 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,431 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

How fast traffic moves here

On Royal York Rd between Simpson Ave and Portland St, 327 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2017 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Manitoba St between Oxford St and Wesley St measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2013). At the school-zone speed sign on Algoma St (231 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,570 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Manitoba Street between Royal York Rd and Grand Avenue.
