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 — 8-hour, Apr 2, 2019

The north leg carries the load — 5,611 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 27. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,000 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,707). Trucks and buses were 10.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Lockheed Blvd and Braeburn Ave (57 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 20,200 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Scarlett Rd · Lockheed Blvd – Braeburn Ave · 57 mJul 2025 · 3 days20,17552 km/h60 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.
