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, Jun 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,154 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,624 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (83 of 176). Evening rush dominates here: 1,439 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,300 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 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

On Oakwood Ave between Hanson Rd and Jesmond Ave, 32 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2019 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,900 vehicles a day. Jesmond Ave between Oakwood Ave and Glenholme Ave measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Jun 2024). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Oakwood Ave · Hanson Rd – Jesmond Ave · 32 mApr 2019 · 24 h19,87736 km/h45 km/h49 km/h
Jesmond Ave · Oakwood Ave – Glenholme Ave · 132 mJun 2024 · 3 days41226 km/h32 km/h34 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.
