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).

The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,824 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,394). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Steeles Ave E between Purple Sageway and Edgar Woods Rd (88 m away) recorded an average of 60 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 25,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Edgar Woods Rd · Jenny Wrenway – Steeles Ave E · 37 mJun 2016 · 3 days2,068
Steeles Ave E · Purple Sageway – Edgar Woods Rd · 88 mNov 2020 · 3 days25,40960 km/h68 km/h74 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.
