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 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,944 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,987. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,050 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 56% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,311). 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 was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Senlac Rd between Burndale Ave and Burnett Ave (322 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sheppard Ave W · Fennell St – Senlac Rd · 62 mApr 2014 · 3 days14,419
Senlac Rd · Burndale Ave – Burnett Ave · 322 mNov 2008 · 24 h1,03428 km/h37 km/h40 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.
