Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 24, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 4,092 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 46. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,382 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,198). Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 16,183 vehicles. 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 counter on King St between George St and Rosemount Ave (202 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 3,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King St · George St – Rosemount Ave · 202 mJun 2023 · 7 days3,41233 km/h40 km/h45 km/h
Weston Rd · Lawrence Ave W – John St · 316 mOct 2013 · 7 days8,368

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.
