Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Dec 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,032 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,183 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,735 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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

On Progress Ave between Rosebank Dr and Orchid Place Dr, 194 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2005 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. Malvern St between Sheppard Ave E and 75 Malvern St measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Dec 2024). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mammoth Hall Trl (294 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 21,563 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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.
