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 City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jun 30, 2026

Evening rush dominates here: 2,959 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,666 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Avenue Rd between Elwood Blvd and Kelway Blvd, 326 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2025 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave W · Avenue Rd – Braemar Ave · 46 mMar 2013 · 3 days12,299
Avenue Rd · Elwood Blvd – Kelway Blvd · 326 mMay 2025 · 3 days29,37140 km/h48 km/h52 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.
