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, Dec 19, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 9,292 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 341. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,499 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,640 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

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

The City's counter on Norcap Ave between Castle Hill Dr and Grove Hill Dr (197 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 2-day count in May 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kennedy Rd · Southlawn Dr – Norcap Ave · 84 mApr 2013 · 3 days15,138
Norcap Ave · Castle Hill Dr – Grove Hill Dr · 197 mMay 2003 · 2 days70740 km/h49 km/h55 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.
