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 17, 2022 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 7,906 southbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,430. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,071 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 133% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,746). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 York Mills Rd between Old York Mills Rd and York Ridge Rd (319 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 24,400 vehicles a day. Yonge St between York Mills Rd and William Carson Cres measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 62 km/h (Nov 2024). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Yonge St · York Mills Rd – William Carson Cres · 178 mNov 2024 · 3 days47,75451 km/h62 km/h68 km/h
York Mills Rd · Old York Mills Rd – York Ridge Rd · 319 mApr 2005 · 24 h24,44158 km/h68 km/h74 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.
