Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Feb 19, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 8,498 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,614. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,934 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,955 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Willowdale Ave between Revcoe Dr and Silverview Dr (337 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 10,800 vehicles a day. Bishop Ave between Willowdale Ave and Longmore St measured slower: 49 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Apr 2011). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bishop Ave · Willowdale Ave – Longmore St · 110 mApr 2011 · 24 h3,00849 km/h57 km/h62 km/h
Willowdale Ave · Revcoe Dr – Silverview Dr · 337 mNov 2020 · 3 days10,82650 km/h58 km/h63 km/h

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.
