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, Dec 11, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,921 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 221 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 364 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 18% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (308). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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 Maitland Pl between Homewood Ave and Jarvis St, 100 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2017 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. Homewood Ave between Maribeth Ave and Maitland Pl measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2022). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sherbourne St (117 m away, 30 km/h limit), 9.4% of the 197,019 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
