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 — 14-hour, Nov 29, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 6,483 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 950. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,070 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,712). Trucks and buses were 14.1% 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.

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 Martin Grove Rd between Bethridge Rd and Rexdale Blvd (368 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Martin Grove Rd · Bethridge Rd – Rexdale Blvd · 368 mSep 2019 · 2 days19,99864 km/h73 km/h79 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.
