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, Jun 1, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 10,904 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 468. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,138 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,258 from 4:00 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Kingston Rd between West Hill Dr and Orchard Park Dr (209 m away) recorded an average of 66 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. That segment carries about 36,100 vehicles a day. Manse Rd between Stornoway Crt and Old Kingston Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2023). The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Manse Rd · Stornoway Crt – Old Kingston Rd · 203 mNov 2023 · 3 days1,20237 km/h44 km/h49 km/h
Kingston Rd · West Hill Dr – Orchard Park Dr · 209 mJun 2011 · 24 h36,14366 km/h74 km/h80 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.
