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, May 28, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,219 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 120 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (33 of 47). Evening rush dominates here: 2,438 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,100 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 months 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

On Sheppard Ave E between Abbotsfield Gt and Palmdale Dr, 168 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 66 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,600 vehicles a day. Bridlewood Blvd between Sheppard Ave E and Ravencliff Cres measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Oct 2018). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bridlewood Blvd · Sheppard Ave E – Ravencliff Cres · 125 mOct 2018 · 24 h1,66645 km/h53 km/h58 km/h
Sheppard Ave E · Abbotsfield Gt – Palmdale Dr · 168 mMar 2019 · 24 h27,56257 km/h66 km/h72 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.
