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, Apr 26, 2023

The east leg carries the load — 2,725 westbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,118. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,285 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,139). Trucks and buses were 7.1% 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 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 Alliance Ave between Humber Blvd and Rockcliffe Blvd (239 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 8,700 vehicles a day. Rockcliffe Blvd between Black Creek Trl and Woolner Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Dec 2025). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Alliance Ave (66 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 27,165 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
