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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 10, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,695 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 199 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (36 of 59). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,439 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,515 from 2:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On O'Connor Dr between Athlone Rd and Airley Cres, 100 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 37,500 vehicles a day. Dustan Cres between Four Oaks Gt and O'connor Dr measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Dustan Crescent between Four Oaks Gt and O'Connor Dr.

Traffic calming

    2 speed humps

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.
