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.

The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,769 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,872 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

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 Jones Ave between Lane S of Gerrard and W of Leslie and Gerrard St E (20 m away, Apr 2010) recorded volume only — about 3,847 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Jones Ave · Lane S of Gerrard and W of Leslie – Gerrard St E · 20 mApr 2010 · 3 days3,847

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.
