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, Dec 9, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,967 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 615 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,874 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,559 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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

On St Clair Ave W between Britannia Ave and Hagar Ave, 362 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,400 vehicles a day. Castleton Ave between St Clair Ave W and Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jul 2014). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Castleton Ave · St Clair Ave W – Lane N of St Clair and E of Mould · 29 mJul 2014 · 2 days1,57636 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
St Clair Ave W · Britannia Ave – Hagar Ave · 362 mNov 2022 · 3 days20,43239 km/h48 km/h54 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.
