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 8, 2022

The east leg carries the load — 4,106 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 343. Most cyclists arrived from the east (104 of 182). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,249 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,174 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 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 Gledhill Ave between King Edward Ave and Burrell Ave (340 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. Patricia Dr between Lucia Perillo Lane and Danforth Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jul 2001). The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 12 speed humps slow traffic on Gledhill Avenue between Danforth Ave and Cosburn Ave.

Traffic calming

    12 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.
