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, Apr 16, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 11,140 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,469. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,333 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,126). Trucks and buses were 6.7% 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 17 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

The City's most recent midblock count on Evans Ave between Hwy 427 Collectors S and Gair Dr (349 m away, Dec 2018) recorded volume only — about 11,285 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Evans Ave · Hwy 427 Collectors S – Gair Dr · 349 mDec 2018 · 7 days11,285

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.
