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, Jun 25, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 11,058 westbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 4,088. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,490 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (1,987). Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months 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 counter on Thorncliffe Park Dr between R. V. Burgess Park Trl and Overlea Blvd (113 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 45 km/h. That segment carries about 7,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Overlea Blvd · Thorncliffe Park Dr – William Morgan Dr · 95 mNov 2012 · 3 days34,875
Thorncliffe Park Dr · R. V. Burgess Park Trl – Overlea Blvd · 113 mMay 2019 · 3 days7,36336 km/h45 km/h50 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.
