Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

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 most recent midblock count on Kingston Rd between Sheppard Ave E and Walkway E of Sheppard and N of Kingston (102 m away, Nov 2018) recorded volume only — about 22,791 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kingston Rd · Sheppard Ave E – Walkway E of Sheppard and N of Kingston · 102 mNov 2018 · 7 days22,791

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.
