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 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,014 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 92 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,123 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,375 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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

On Sheppard Ave W between Buckland Rd and Yatescastle Dr, 382 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2023 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,800 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Spenvalley Dr (314 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 7,047 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
