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, Jul 2, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,431 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 4,428 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,571 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,585 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On The Queensway between Queensway W and North Queen St, 163 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The Queensway · Queensway W – North Queen St · 163 mJun 2023 · 3 days23,66356 km/h67 km/h74 km/h
North Queen St · Nova Rd – The Queensway · 217 mSep 2012 · 3 days9,333

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.
