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 — 8-hour, Nov 2, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 637 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 397 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the west (125 of 217). Evening rush dominates here: 252 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 182 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. 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

On Sudbury St between Abell St and Queen St W, 168 m from the corner, a 4-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. Abell St between Queen St W and Lane S of Queen and W of Lisgar measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Nov 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Abell St · Queen St W – Lane S of Queen and W of Lisgar · 201 mNov 2022 · 3 days1,06323 km/h33 km/h39 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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
