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, Feb 8, 2022

The south leg carries the load — 4,981 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 60. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,445 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,558 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Kipling Ave between Snaresbrook Dr and Genthorn Ave (157 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 9,000 vehicles a day. Genthorn Ave between Wansey Rd and Moncrieff Dr measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Jan 2026). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kipling Ave (92 m away, 50 km/h limit), 6.9% of the 77,052 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
