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 — 8-hour, Mar 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 7,703 westbound vehicles, or 39% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,594. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,172 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 89% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,679). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Millwood Rd between Overlea Blvd and Leaside Park Trl (54 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 34,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Millwood Rd · Overlea Blvd – Leaside Park Trl · 54 mJun 2022 · 3 days34,23747 km/h57 km/h62 km/h
Overlea Blvd · Millwood Rd – Leaside Park Dr · 90 mNov 2012 · 3 days23,006

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.
