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, Oct 23, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 2,364 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 120. Most cyclists arrived from the east (94 of 162). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 608 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 55% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (392). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 23 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

The City's counter on Kingscourt Dr between Bloor St W and The Kingsway (105 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2014; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The Kingsway between Kingscourt Dr and Kingsway Cres measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2025). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
