Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 10, 2024 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 8,898 eastbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,811. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,451 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 47% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,663). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 22 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

The City's counter on Kennedy Rd between Brenda Cres and Summer Dr (372 m away) recorded an average of 67 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. That segment carries about 12,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (264 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.1% of the 173,428 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
