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, Aug 25, 1999

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,733 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 260 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,080 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,648 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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. The count is 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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

On Weston Rd between Weston Rd N and Weston Rd S, 143 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Weston Rd N – Weston Rd S · 143 mJun 2023 · 3 days21,91044 km/h59 km/h65 km/h
Knob Hill Dr · Oak St – Weston Rd · 164 mNov 2007 · 3 days3,639

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.
