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 east leg. The north leg carries the load — 19,877 southbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 4,147. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,403 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,908). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on Victoria Park Ave between Terraview Blvd and Victoria Pr N (227 m away) recorded an average of 63 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 54,900 vehicles a day. York Mills Rd between Ness Dr and Rayoak Dr measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2024). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Victoria Park Ave · Terraview Blvd – Victoria Pr N · 227 mApr 2012 · 24 h54,85663 km/h73 km/h79 km/h
York Mills Rd · Ness Dr – Rayoak Dr · 379 mMar 2024 · 3 days9,48739 km/h44 km/h49 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.
