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, Jun 11, 2024

The east leg carries the load — 8,728 westbound vehicles, or 28% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 6,581. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,960 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (2,685). Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 2 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

The City's counter on Finch Ave E between Sandhurst Crcl and Middlefield Rd (212 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Finch Ave E · Sandhurst Crcl – Middlefield Rd · 212 mNov 2024 · 3 days21,49454 km/h62 km/h67 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.
