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, Oct 8, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 6,242 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,628. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,654 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (1,318). Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on Eastern Ave between Emdaabiimok Ave and Woodbine Park Trl (82 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Eastern Ave · Emdaabiimok Ave – Woodbine Park Trl · 82 mAug 2022 · 3 days6,09240 km/h48 km/h51 km/h
Emdaabiimok Ave · Lake Shore Blvd E – Lake Shore Blvd East Trl · 369 mMar 2014 · 3 days11,178

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.
