Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 16, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,255 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 662 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,257 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 919 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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.

Peak hours: 919 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,257 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
