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 — 8-hour, Jun 7, 2014 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 10,244 and 12,228 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 4,752 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 3,588 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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 Markham Rd between Markham Rd N and Hwy 401 Collectors E (68 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 21,284 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Markham Rd · Markham Rd N – Hwy 401 Collectors E · 68 mSep 2014 · 7 days21,284

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.
