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, Mar 1, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 10,211 southbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 3,180. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,618 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,690 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Trethewey Dr between Greenbrook Dr and Black Creek Dr (65 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 16,200 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Trethewey Dr · Greenbrook Dr – Black Creek Dr · 65 mMay 2023 · 3 days16,18153 km/h62 km/h67 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.

All police-reported collisions
