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, Mar 21, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,526 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 3,688 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,162 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,743 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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 Brimley Rd between Progress Ave and Hwy 401 Collectors E (112 m away, Nov 2013) recorded volume only — about 22,991 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Brimley Rd · Progress Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors E · 112 mNov 2013 · 3 days22,991

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.
