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, Oct 1, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,663 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 270 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 874 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 869 from 2:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Scarborough Golf Club Rd between Tillinghast Lane and Confederation Dr, 258 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2023 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,100 vehicles a day. Confederation Dr between Scarborough Golf Club Rd and Karen Ann Cres measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jun 2024). At the school-zone speed sign on Holmfirth Ter (398 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 34,401 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
