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 — 14-hour, Nov 18, 2023 (a weekend day)

The south leg carries the load — 2,952 northbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 863. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,350 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (908). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years 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

The City's counter on Coxwell Ave between Coxwell Avenue Playground Trl and Coxwell Avenue Parkette Trl (278 m away) recorded an average of 41 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Gerrard St E (331 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 89,176 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
