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, Feb 14, 2026 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,231 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 4,239 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,733 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,942 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On O'Connor Dr between Warland Ave and Wolverton Ave, 214 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,800 vehicles a day. Donlands Ave between Davies Cres and Elmsdale Rd measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Oct 2018). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Donlands Ave · Davies Cres – Elmsdale Rd · 131 mOct 2018 · 3 days11,30744 km/h50 km/h54 km/h
O'Connor Dr · Warland Ave – Wolverton Ave · 214 mMay 2018 · 3 days33,76449 km/h57 km/h62 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.
