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, May 6, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 12,334 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,183. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,381 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,340 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 16 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 Rumsey Rd between Donlea Dr and Divadale Dr (150 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Hanna Rd (212 m away, 30 km/h limit), 12% of the 17,942 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
