Tapscott & 80 Tapscott

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 25, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,337 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 70. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 696 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 708 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 696 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 708 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).

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
