Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 16, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,265 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 1,938 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,162 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,599 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.
