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 — 14-hour, Mar 26, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 13,684 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 59. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,443 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,032). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on The Queensway between Loma Rd and Plastics Ave (47 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 20,644 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The Queensway · Loma Rd – Plastics Ave · 47 mSep 2012 · 3 days20,644

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.
