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 29, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,302 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,667 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,352 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,542 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Victoria Park Ave between Draycott Dr and Ruscica Dr, 309 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2018 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 70 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 78 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,100 vehicles a day. Surrey Ave between Inniswood Dr and Shandara Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Oct 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Surrey Ave · Inniswood Dr – Shandara Cres · 226 mOct 2025 · 3 days3,49640 km/h47 km/h51 km/h
Victoria Park Ave · Draycott Dr – Ruscica Dr · 309 mNov 2018 · 24 h26,14760 km/h70 km/h78 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.
