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, Nov 18, 2023 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 9,077 southbound vehicles, or 58% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,898. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,341 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,717). Heavy vehicles made up 0.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Cameron Ave and Florence Ave (340 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 37,976 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Cameron Ave – Florence Ave · 340 mSep 2014 · 7 days37,976

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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
