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 2, 2024 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 8,799 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 217. Most cyclists arrived from the north (34 of 72). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,737 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 54% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,129). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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

The City's counter on Brimley Rd between Deerfield Rd and Largo Lane (290 m away) recorded an average of 59 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day. Shediac Rd between Haileybury Dr and Penzance Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jun 2011). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Shediac Rd · Haileybury Dr – Penzance Dr · 263 mJun 2011 · 24 h43535 km/h44 km/h48 km/h
Brimley Rd · Deerfield Rd – Largo Lane · 290 mSep 2019 · 2 days21,07659 km/h69 km/h74 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 27, 2008.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
