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, Sep 27, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,246 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 124 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,373 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,014 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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

On Leslie St between Corning Rd and Wild Briarway, 10 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,800 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Leslie St · Corning Rd – Wild Briarway · 10 mAug 2023 · 3 days22,78750 km/h55 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.
