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, Nov 22, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 4,365 southbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 84. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,648 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,286). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 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 Scarlett Rd between Chapman Rd and Saxony Cres (301 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 21,700 vehicles a day. Alma Dr between Scarlett Rd and Freemont Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Sep 2014). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Alma Dr · Scarlett Rd – Freemont Ave · 108 mSep 2014 · 2 days28538 km/h49 km/h54 km/h
Scarlett Rd · Chapman Rd – Saxony Cres · 301 mOct 2022 · 24 h21,66742 km/h54 km/h60 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
