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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 6,944 eastbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 777. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,436 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 33% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,079). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Bedford Rd between Elgin Ave and Boswell Ave (321 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 5,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Davenport Rd · Lane W of Avenue and S of Davenport – Bedford Rd · 71 mApr 2010 · 3 days16,122
Bedford Rd · Elgin Ave – Boswell Ave · 321 mFeb 2024 · 3 days5,67937 km/h44 km/h49 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.
