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 — 14-hour, Nov 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 22,654 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 15,589 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,371 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% 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 22 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 most recent midblock count on McCowan Rd between McCowan Rd N and McCowan Rd S (78 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 27,637 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
McCowan Rd · McCowan Rd N – McCowan Rd S · 78 mApr 2013 · 3 days27,637

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.
