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 — 8-hour, Apr 29, 2014

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 11,170 northbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 791. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,546 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (3,248). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Islington Ave between Islington N and Islington S (290 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 11,367 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Islington Ave · Islington N – Islington S · 290 mOct 2014 · 7 days11,367

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.

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
