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, Nov 2, 2006

The north leg carries the load — 3,302 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 109. Most cyclists arrived from the north (121 of 160). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,023 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,061 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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 Lambertlodge Ave between Melita Cres and Tony Silipo Way (158 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Melita Cres (266 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 16,988 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Lambertlodge Avenue between Christie St and Melita Cres.

Traffic calming

    5 speed humps

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.
