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, Jul 25, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,245 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 112 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (82 of 162). Evening rush dominates here: 1,805 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,167 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Pharmacy Ave between Stellarton Rd and Clairlea Cres, 155 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2022 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Pharmacy Ave · Stellarton Rd – Clairlea Cres · 155 mNov 2022 · 24 h21,49351 km/h59 km/h65 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.
