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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 15, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,495 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 760 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,448 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,530 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Banbury Rd between Barrydale Cres and York Mills Rd, 159 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Banbury Rd · Barrydale Cres – York Mills Rd · 159 mOct 2019 · 3 days2,88048 km/h57 km/h63 km/h
York Mills Rd · Mossgrove Park Trl – Leslie St · 241 mJun 2017 · 3 days14,048

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.
