Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 23, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,369 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 354 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (152 of 315). Evening rush dominates here: 1,144 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,056 in the morning peak from 9:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months 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 Royal York Rd between Meadow Crest Rd and Edgemore Dr, 280 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2006 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,500 vehicles a day. Meadowvale Dr between Royal York Rd and Cliveden Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Jun 2023). The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Meadowvale Drive between Prince Edward Dr S and Royal York Rd.

Traffic calming

    5 speed humps

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.
