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 south: 5,080 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 2,000 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,962 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,727 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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

On Martin Grove Rd between Rampart Rd and Finch Ave W, 396 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2019 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,600 vehicles a day. John Garland Blvd between Four Leaf Dr and Mosque Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on John Garland Blvd (147 m away, 40 km/h limit), 8.7% of the 142,723 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.
