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 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,891 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 4,623 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,827 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,950 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Sheppard Ave W between Lomar Dr and Oakdale Rd (60 m away, Apr 2014) recorded volume only — about 14,547 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sheppard Ave W · Lomar Dr – Oakdale Rd · 60 mApr 2014 · 3 days14,547
Oakdale Rd · Sheppard Ave W – Torbarrie Rd · 75 mApr 2009 · 3 days9,933

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.
