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, Nov 29, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,763 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 2,994 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,118 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,239 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years 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 most recent midblock count on Albion Rd between Martin Grove N and Martin Grove Rd (37 m away, May 2015) recorded volume only — about 18,065 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silverstone Dr (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.2% of the 37,987 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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.
