Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Nov 15, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,067 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 803. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 382 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 375 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 Park Rd between Rosedale Rd and Avondale Rd (357 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Asquith Ave · Yonge St – Sherlock Holmes Walk · 156 mSep 2009 · 3 days2,331
Park Rd · Rosedale Rd – Avondale Rd · 357 mMar 2011 · 2 days2,33828 km/h34 km/h39 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.
