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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jan 18, 2023

The south leg carries the load — 328 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 96. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 109 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (69). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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

The City's counter on Salem Ave between Salem Parkette Trl and Shanly St (166 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 2-day count in November 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 33 km/h. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Salem Ave · Salem Parkette Trl – Shanly St · 166 mNov 2019 · 2 days1,19926 km/h33 km/h37 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.
