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, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 5,612 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,097. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,324 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 24% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,071). Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 21 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

The City's counter on McLevin Ave between Markham Rd and Malvern St (68 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h. That segment carries about 11,000 vehicles a day. Malvern St between Lenthall Ave and Greenhedges Crt measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Dec 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
McLevin Ave · Markham Rd – Malvern St · 68 mApr 2025 · 3 days10,99846 km/h53 km/h57 km/h
Malvern St · Lenthall Ave – Greenhedges Crt · 118 mDec 2024 · 3 days5,23538 km/h44 km/h49 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.
