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 — 8-hour, May 6, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 6,258 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 487. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,772 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,495). Trucks and buses were 7.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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 Civic Rd between Warden Ave and Prudham Gt (119 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Warden Ave · Civic Rd – Eglinton Ave E · 53 mOct 2014 · 3 days14,252
Civic Rd · Warden Ave – Prudham Gt · 119 mNov 2006 · 24 h2,09839 km/h49 km/h57 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.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
