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 16, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,503 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 69 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 832 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 793 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 22.7% 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 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

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 Farnboro Rd between Attwell Dr and Hwy 27 S (141 m away, Jun 2007) recorded volume only — about 2,324 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Farnboro Rd · Attwell Dr – Hwy 27 S · 141 mJun 2007 · 3 days2,324
Attwell Dr · Dixon Rd – Carlson Crt · 306 mDec 2011 · 3 days13,391

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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
