Traffic volume

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

The east leg carries the load — 11,787 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 8,740. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,610 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,795 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Bridletowne Crcl and Warden Ave (0 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 27,051 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave E (398 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 61,989 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
