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 24, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 16,374 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 11,595 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,550 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 4,188 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 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 Keele St between Wilson Ave and Victory Dr (35 m away, Jun 2017) recorded volume only — about 22,026 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (347 m away, 30 km/h limit), 54% of the 340,502 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
