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 10, 2023 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,306 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 280 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 840 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 371 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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 Morningside Ave between Ling Rd and Lawrence Ave E, 305 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2019 put the average speed at 49 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 12,700 vehicles a day. Danzig St between Marlena Dr and Betty Frank Gt measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jun 2024). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Morningside Ave (92 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 124,446 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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.
