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 9, 2024 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 10,077 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,619. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,021 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,053). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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 most recent midblock count on Finch Ave W between Albion Rd and Kendleton Dr (130 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 13,673 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave W · Albion Rd – Kendleton Dr · 130 mNov 2011 · 3 days13,673
Albion Rd · Finch Ave W – Martin Grove N · 169 mMay 2015 · 3 days14,701

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.
