Trethewey & King George's

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,941 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 506 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,212 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,252 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 1,212 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,252 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.
