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

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 4,062 vehicles entering from the west to 4,960 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,893 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,846 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 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 Lawrence Ave W between Freemont Ave and Westona St (241 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 11,600 vehicles a day. Scarlett Rd between Lockheed Blvd and Braeburn Ave measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 60 km/h (Jul 2025). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave W · Freemont Ave – Westona St · 241 mNov 2021 · 3 days11,58455 km/h64 km/h69 km/h
Scarlett Rd · Lockheed Blvd – Braeburn Ave · 280 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.
