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, Apr 21, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 5,295 and 5,670 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,287 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,320 from 5:00 p.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. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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 Avenue Rd between Avenue Rd N and Hwy 401 Collectors E (79 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 41,704 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Wilson Ave (215 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 225,506 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
