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 28, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,092 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 2,455 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,196 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,428 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Kingston Rd between Lochleven Dr and 3430 Kingston Rd, 238 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,900 vehicles a day. Markham Rd between Markanna Dr and Eglinton Ave E measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (May 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Brinloor Blvd (309 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 4,045 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.

All police-reported collisions
