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, Oct 28, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,026 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 864 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,425 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,454 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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

On Burnhamthorpe Rd between Shaver Ave N and Warwood Rd, 370 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2024 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 32,800 vehicles a day. Martin Grove Rd between Goswell Rd and Burnhamthorpe Rd measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Oct 2021).

Martin Grove Rd · Goswell Rd – Burnhamthorpe Rd · 114 mOct 2021 · 3 days2,37341 km/h48 km/h53 km/h
Burnhamthorpe Rd · Shaver Ave N – Warwood Rd · 370 mMar 2024 · 3 days32,80854 km/h61 km/h66 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.
