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, Aug 11, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,432 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 95 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (79 of 140). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,018 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,179 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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 Oriole Pkwy between Walmsley Blvd and Duggan Ave, 47 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. Walmsley Blvd between Baker Ave and Oriole Pkwy measured slower: 26 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Nov 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Oriole Pkwy (70 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 71,075 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Walmsley Boulevard between Oriole Pkwy and Lawton Blvd.

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.
