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, Apr 23, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,282 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 740 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 919 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 717 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 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

On Linkwood Lane between Spanbridge Rd and Linkwood Lane Park Trl, 152 m from the corner, a 2-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,100 vehicles a day. Spanbridge Rd between Grenoble Dr and Linkwood Lane measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2026). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Grenoble Dr (308 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.9% of the 74,479 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
