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, Sep 24, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,654 eastbound vehicles, or 61% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 270. Morning rush is the busier period: 471 vehicles in the peak hour from 9:00 a.m., compared with 323 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 Queen's Dr between Arkwright St and Bluebell Gt (183 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Queen's Dr · Arkwright St – Bluebell Gt · 183 mApr 2019 · 2 days1,60934 km/h40 km/h45 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.
