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, Nov 28, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,322 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 142 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,266 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,252 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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.

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

Traffic calming

  • Shaver Avenue North · Bloor St W – Burnhamthorpe Rd
    8 speed humps

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.
