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 — 14-hour, Jan 24, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,728 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 360 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,012 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 922 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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 most recent midblock count on Meadowvale Rd between Rotary Dr and Sheppard Ave E (94 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 6,559 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Meadowvale Rd · Rotary Dr – Sheppard Ave E · 94 mApr 2013 · 3 days6,559

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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
