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, Mar 24, 2024 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,803 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,961 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,075 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 842 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years 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

On Lansdowne Ave between Lane S of St Clair and E of Lansdowne and St Clair Ave W, 24 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2013 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lansdowne Ave · Lane S of St Clair and E of Lansdowne – St Clair Ave W · 24 mOct 2013 · 2 days3,18427 km/h35 km/h42 km/h
St Clair Ave W · Harvie Ave – Lansdowne Ave · 31 mApr 2010 · 3 days9,004

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.
