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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 22, 2016

The north leg carries the load — 13,655 southbound vehicles, or 57% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 150. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,251 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,336 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Dufferin St between Hwy 401 Collectors E and Yorkdale Rd (85 m away, Oct 2012) recorded volume only — about 26,974 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dufferin St · Hwy 401 Collectors E – Yorkdale Rd · 85 mOct 2012 · 3 days26,974

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.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
