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 — 8-hour, May 10, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,144 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 92 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (77 of 153). Evening rush dominates here: 2,501 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,241 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 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.

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 Kingston Rd between Queensbury Ave and Audrey Ave, 257 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2019 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Queensbury Ave – Audrey Ave · 257 mMar 2019 · 24 h24,71653 km/h64 km/h72 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.
