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 — 14-hour, Aug 25, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 21,107 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,062. Most cyclists arrived from the north (49 of 97). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,898 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,500). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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.

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 Yonge St between Yonge St N and Hwy 401 Collectors W (188 m away, Oct 2012) recorded volume only — about 47,198 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Yonge St N – Hwy 401 Collectors W · 188 mOct 2012 · 3 days47,198

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.
