Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 14,030 vehicles entering from the east to 15,582 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,909 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (4,462). 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 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 Yonge St between Abitibi Ave and Nipigon Ave (146 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 52,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Abitibi Ave – Nipigon Ave · 146 mAug 2004 · 3 days52,89245 km/h58 km/h64 km/h
Steeles Ave E · Lane E of Yonge and S of Steeles – Dumont St · 151 mApr 2014 · 3 days22,700

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.
