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 — 14-hour, Nov 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,184 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 2,967 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,084 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,802). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 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 Bayview Ave between Kilgour Rd and Sherwood Park Trl, 352 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2014 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,000 vehicles a day. Broadway Ave between Walder Ave and McBain Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (May 2024). The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 11 speed humps slow traffic on Broadway Avenue between Mount Pleasant Rd and Bayview Ave (installed 2005).

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.
