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, Dec 14, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,946 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 63% of the total, against 103 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (60 of 108). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,835 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 40% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (3,463). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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 Ontario Place Blvd between Remembrance Dr and Martin Goodman Trl (83 m away, Jun 1998) recorded volume only — about 5,092 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Ontario Place Blvd · Remembrance Dr – Martin Goodman Trl · 83 mJun 1998 · 2 days5,092
Newfoundland Rd · Lake Shore Blvd W – Princes' Blvd · 100 mJun 1998 · 2 days3,928
Lake Shore Blvd W · Lakeshore W – Strachan Ave · 356 mMay 2011 · 3 days14,469

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.
