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, Jun 11, 2024

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 10,822 vehicles entering from the west to 12,358 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (148 of 358). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,071 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,286 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 2 years 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 McNicoll Ave between Milliken Blvd and Silver Star Blvd (321 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 7-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 20,900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kennedy Rd · Finch Corridor Trl – McNicoll Ave · 90 mApr 2013 · 3 days14,685
McNicoll Ave · Milliken Blvd – Silver Star Blvd · 321 mMay 2023 · 7 days20,85850 km/h58 km/h64 km/h

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.
