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, Feb 1, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 6,522 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 224. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,815 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,955 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 counter on Keele St between West Toronto St and Lloyd Ave (77 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 26,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

West Toronto St · Keele St – Old Stock Yards Rd · 147 mDec 2009 · 7 days9,695

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.
