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 — 8-hour, Jun 15, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 1,046 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 43. Morning rush is the busier period: 409 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:30 a.m., compared with 360 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Rochefort Dr between Ferrand Dr and Ferrand Drive Park Trl (206 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day.

Rochefort Dr · Ferrand Dr – Ferrand Drive Park Trl · 206 mOct 2025 · 3 days2,80840 km/h48 km/h54 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.
