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, Oct 24, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 11,068 westbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,943. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,664 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,092). Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dufferin St between Regent Rd and Katherine Rd (187 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2010; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 4,200 vehicles a day. Wilson Ave between Winston Park Blvd and Maniza Rd measured slower: 47 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Oct 2021). The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dufferin St · Regent Rd – Katherine Rd · 187 mSep 2010 · 24 h4,15848 km/h60 km/h67 km/h
Wilson Ave · Winston Park Blvd – Maniza Rd · 202 mOct 2021 · 3 days31,62347 km/h55 km/h59 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.
