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 2, 2024 (a weekend day)
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,531 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 662 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 69). Evening rush dominates here: 1,686 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,111 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Brimley Rd between Knob Hill Park Trl and Gully Dr, 338 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Deerfield Rd between Gully Dr and Bonnechere Cres measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Nov 2012). At the school-zone speed sign on Brimley Rd (102 m away, 50 km/h limit), 4.4% of the 56,220 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Brimley Rd (southbound), 656 Brimley Ave · 56,220 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
