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 6, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,326 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 511 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 923 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 850 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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

On Oriole Pkwy between Tranmer Ave and Hillsdale Ave W, 106 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2019 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. Hillsdale Ave W between Eastbourne Ave and Oriole Pkwy measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2017). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
