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, Oct 19, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 6,763 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,718. Most cyclists arrived from the north (80 of 164). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,513 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 36% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,116). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Foxridge Dr between Maywood Pk and Martorino Dr (253 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 50 km/h. That segment carries about 3,500 vehicles a day. Birchmount Rd between Foxridge Dr and Comstock Rd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jul 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Foxridge Drive between Kennedy Rd and Birchmount Rd.

Traffic calming

  • Foxridge Drive · Kennedy Rd – Birchmount Rd
    7 speed humps

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.
