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 20, 2024 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 6,555 westbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 722. Most cyclists arrived from the east (184 of 427). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,355 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 59% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (852). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 counter on Kingston Rd between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave (313 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 25,600 vehicles a day. Fallingbrook Rd between Fallingbrook Dr and Lynndale Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2019). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (386 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 32,965 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Fallingbrook Road between Windsor Ave and Kingston Rd, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.
