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 30, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,577 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 2,917 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,776 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,431). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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 Progress Ave between Rosebank Dr and Orchid Place Dr, 310 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2005 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. Milner Ave between Novopharm Crt and Dailing Gt measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Nov 2006). The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Progress Ave · Rosebank Dr – Orchid Place Dr · 310 mNov 2005 · 24 h9,81852 km/h59 km/h68 km/h
Milner Ave · Novopharm Crt – Dailing Gt · 341 mNov 2006 · 24 h12,49848 km/h59 km/h64 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.
