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, Jun 19, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,265 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 131 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (37 of 79). Evening rush dominates here: 1,513 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,345 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.0% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Weston Rd between Denison Rd W and Sykes Ave (42 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 8,860 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Weston Rd · Denison Rd W – Sykes Ave · 42 mNov 2011 · 3 days8,860
Denison Rd W · Weston Rd – Sykes Ave · 88 mApr 2013 · 3 days2,653

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.
