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 — 8-hour, Feb 12, 2002

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,437 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 130 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,504 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,567 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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.

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 O'Connor Dr between Woodmount Ave and Woodbine Ave (181 m away, Oct 2014) recorded volume only — about 16,696 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Norlong Boulevard between O'Connor Dr and Cosburn Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Norlong Boulevard · O'Connor Dr – Cosburn Ave
    4 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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
