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 north: 18,038 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,066 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (54 of 128). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,388 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,573 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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.

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

On Kingston Rd between Gradwell Dr and Eastville Ave, 197 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2022 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,500 vehicles a day. Brooklawn Ave between Lane S of Kingston and W of Harewood and Kingston Rd measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jan 2025). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
