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, Jul 19, 2011

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 7,965 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 171. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,574 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 35% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,905). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 counter on Culnan Ave between The Queensway and Warnica Ave (107 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 2-day count in May 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Culnan Ave · The Queensway – Warnica Ave · 107 mMay 2012 · 2 days56036 km/h47 km/h53 km/h
The Queensway · Zorra St – Trueman Ave · 127 mSep 2012 · 3 days18,300

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.
