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, Feb 28, 2023

The west leg carries the load — 10,395 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,210. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,002 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,530). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 most recent midblock count on Yorkland Rd between Herons Hill Way and Sheppard (89 m away, Apr 2013) recorded volume only — about 13,260 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yorkland Rd · Herons Hill Way – Sheppard · 89 mApr 2013 · 3 days13,260
Sheppard Ave E · Sheppard – Herons Hill Way · 107 mSep 2014 · 8 days19,978

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.
