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 — 14-hour, May 5, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 16,565 southbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 6,640. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,114 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 15% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,591). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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 most recent midblock count on Progress Ave between Brimley Rd and Borough Dr (57 m away, Mar 2015) recorded volume only — about 10,692 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Progress Ave · Brimley Rd – Borough Dr · 57 mMar 2015 · 3 days10,692
Brimley Rd · Triton Rd – Progress Ave · 111 mNov 2013 · 3 days35,103

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.
