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 22, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,284 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 886 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (37 of 72). Evening rush dominates here: 2,415 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,622 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Torrance Rd between Grace St and Adler St, 400 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2024 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eglinton Ave E · McCowan Rd – Torrance Rd · 130 mSep 2019 · 7 days16,585
Torrance Rd · Grace St – Adler St · 400 mNov 2024 · 3 days1,16438 km/h47 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.
