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, Feb 15, 2018

The south leg carries the load — 6,295 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 16. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,083 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,193 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

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 counter on Alliance Ave between Dalrymple Dr and Walkway E of Jane and N of Alliance (327 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. Jane St between Sandcliff Rd and East Dr measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Nov 2024). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Jane St · Sandcliff Rd – East Dr · 265 mNov 2024 · 24 h28,78143 km/h52 km/h57 km/h
Alliance Ave · Dalrymple Dr – Walkway E of Jane and N of Alliance · 327 mSep 2017 · 24 h6,78046 km/h54 km/h59 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.
