Ontario Border Crossing Traffic Volumes for Commercial Vehicles

Modelled average hourly traffic counts differentiate between commercial vehicles and autos at survey stations on provincial highways. Data is collected at border crossings by the Government of Ontario. The dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Model hourly passenger versus commercial vehicle traffic splits using the vehicle type classification.
• Analyze border crossing congestion patterns by weekday and weekend using the average hourly count estimates.
• Map traffic volume distribution using the provided latitude and longitude coordinates for survey stations.
• Forecast commercial freight demand on provincial highways based on historical traffic volume trends.

Strengths

• Includes geospatial coordinates (latitude/longitude) for survey station locations.
• Provides modelled estimates at an hourly granularity, differentiating weekdays and weekends.
• Data is sourced from the authoritative Government of Ontario and updated regularly, with a last update in 2026.

Limitations

• The dataset contains modelled estimates, not raw sensor counts, which may introduce approximation errors.
• Specific sample sizes, row counts, and the exact number of survey stations are unknown.
• Geographic coverage is limited to provincial highways at border crossings within Ontario.
