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, Dec 17, 2022 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 4,670 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 369. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,643 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 89% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (870). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. 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 Wilson Ave between William Cragg Dr and Montana Ave (375 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 65 km/h. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. Highview Ave between Wilson Ave and Maurice Coulter Mews measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jul 2023). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Highview Ave (110 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 23,127 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.
