Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 13, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 8,918 southbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,257. Most cyclists arrived from the south (190 of 364). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,707 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,699 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months 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 counter on Yonge St between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave (76 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. Roselawn Ave between Yonge St and Duplex Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2011). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Erskine Ave (94 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 115,287 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
