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 — 14-hour, Mar 7, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,937 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 408 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 745 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 459 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% 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 The Pond Rd between Atkinson Rd and Seneca Lane, 36 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2013 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
The Pond Rd · Atkinson Rd – Seneca Lane · 36 mMay 2013 · 24 h7,74047 km/h57 km/h63 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.
