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 12, 2022

The north leg carries the load — 6,169 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,367. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,281 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 2,094 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 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 Avenue Rd between Killarney Rd and Hillholm Rd (264 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 5-day count in May 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 8,500 vehicles a day. Chaplin Cres between Elmsthorpe Ave and Beltline Trl measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Sep 2005). The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Avenue Rd · Killarney Rd – Hillholm Rd · 264 mMay 2001 · 5 days8,45843 km/h54 km/h61 km/h
Chaplin Cres · Elmsthorpe Ave – Beltline Trl · 339 mSep 2005 · 3 days9,29930 km/h46 km/h58 km/h

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.
