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, Jan 16, 2006

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,546 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 223 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,452 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,824 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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 Dixon Rd between Hwy 401 Express W and Kelfield St (159 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 18,323 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dixon Rd · Hwy 401 Express W – Kelfield St · 159 mNov 2011 · 3 days18,323

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.
