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, Jan 29, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 15,348 southbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,472. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,515 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 31% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (2,678). Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Queen's Plate Dr between Harness Rd and Hwy 27 N (191 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 5,100 vehicles a day.

Queen's Plate Dr · Harness Rd – Hwy 27 N · 191 mApr 2024 · 3 days5,10552 km/h61 km/h67 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.
