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 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 7,998 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,340. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,746 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 65% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,665). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dundas St W between Brookside Ave and Humbercrest Blvd (376 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 26,400 vehicles a day. Scarlett Rd between Bernice Cres and Eileen Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Aug 2022). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Scarlett Rd · Bernice Cres – Eileen Ave · 224 mAug 2022 · 3 days13,28045 km/h52 km/h57 km/h
Dundas St W · Brookside Ave – Humbercrest Blvd · 376 mNov 2018 · 24 h26,42858 km/h68 km/h76 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.
