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 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,529 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 4,440 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,051 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 2,579 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Warden Ave between Ashtonbee Rd and Bertrand Ave, 137 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2019 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Warden Ave · Ashtonbee Rd – Bertrand Ave · 137 mMay 2019 · 3 days7,63752 km/h60 km/h64 km/h
Ashtonbee Rd · Warden Ave – Thermos Rd · 267 mDec 2011 · 3 days2,981

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.
