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 — 8-hour, Mar 28, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 11,004 northbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 18. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,117 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,328 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 counter on Keele St between Rustic Rd and Falstaff Ave (149 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 35,500 vehicles a day. Falstaff Ave between Ernie Lustig and Rainbow Park Trl - Erie St measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jan 2015). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Keele St · Rustic Rd – Falstaff Ave · 149 mDec 2021 · 3 days35,46757 km/h69 km/h77 km/h
Falstaff Ave · Ernie Lustig – Rainbow Park Trl - Erie St · 160 mJan 2015 · 24 h5,58040 km/h48 km/h52 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.
