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, Dec 14, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,579 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 83 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,191 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 670 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Willowdale Ave between Northwood Dr and Centre Ave, 88 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Willowdale Ave · Northwood Dr – Centre Ave · 88 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 12,674 | 54 km/h | 64 km/h | 72 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.

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 1 | latest Nov 18, 2024 |
