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 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,739 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 10,501 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (60 of 147). Evening rush dominates here: 4,875 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 4,299 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

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 Kipling Ave between Dixon Rd and Kingsview Blvd (32 m away, Feb 2016) recorded volume only — about 10,908 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kipling Ave · Dixon Rd – Kingsview Blvd · 32 mFeb 2016 · 7 days10,908
Dixon Rd · Kipling Ave – Blackfriar Ave · 130 mNov 2011 · 3 days17,236

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.
