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).

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Lawrence Ave W between Lawrence W and Lawrence E, 46 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave W · Lawrence W – Lawrence E · 46 mNov 2022 · 3 days16,66444 km/h57 km/h65 km/h

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.
