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, Jun 24, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,731 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 4,751 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (945 of 1,956). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,789 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,911 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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 Coxwell Ave between Currie Ave and Earl Haig Ave, 290 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2023 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (204 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 18,455 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
