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 7, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,571 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 147 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,342 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 39% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (966). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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

On Duncan Mill Rd between Lesmill Rd and Valleybrook Dr, 220 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2013 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,100 vehicles a day. Valleybrook Dr between Lesmill Rd and Moatfield Dr measured slower: 10 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 16 km/h (Feb 2001). The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Moatfield Dr (201 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 3,882 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
