Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 30, 2021

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 3,701 vehicles entering from the south to 4,226 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,291 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,046). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Royal York Rd between Cavell Ave and Judson St (119 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 11,100 vehicles a day. Stanley Ave between Elizabeth St and Lane E of Royal York and N of Stanley measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Royal York Rd (47 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 209,637 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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.
