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).

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 Gerry Fitzgerald Dr between Dufferin St and Steeles Ave W (248 m away) recorded an average of 49 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 5,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th

Steeles Ave W · Gerry Fitzgerald Dr – Alness St · 265 mJun 2016 · 3 days6,184

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.
