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, Jan 29, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,338 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 360 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,626 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,632 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Falaise Rd between Kingston Rd and Rodda Blvd, 171 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2024 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Lawrence Ave E – Falaise Rd · 57 mSep 2013 · 3 days23,460
Falaise Rd · Kingston Rd – Rodda Blvd · 171 mAug 2024 · 3 days76942 km/h51 km/h57 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.
