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, Nov 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 13,715 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 9,534. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,139 vehicles in the hour from 5:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,132). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on Weston Rd between Humber River Recreational Trl and Sheppard Ave W (68 m away, Oct 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,845 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Humber River Recreational Trl – Sheppard Ave W · 68 mOct 2013 · 7 days16,845
Sheppard Ave W · Mary Chapman Blvd – Weston Rd · 102 mSep 2014 · 7 days24,880

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.
