Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 19, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 7,911 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 387. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,727 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 74% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (995). Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Sheppard Ave E between Bay Mills Blvd and Amethyst Rd (168 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 24,600 vehicles a day. Bay Mills Blvd between Sheppard Ave E and Davisbrook Blvd measured slower: 46 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Jul 2023).

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.
