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, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,826 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 653 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,367 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 871 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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. 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 Keeler Blvd between Sandrift Sq and Edenmills Dr, 221 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2018 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. Oakmeadow Blvd between Stonefield Cres and Highcastle Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2023). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Highcastel Rd (342 m away, 30 km/h limit), 17% of the 14,971 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Keeler Boulevard between Neilson Rd and David Dr.

Traffic calming

    8 speed humps

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.
