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, Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,093 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,250 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (218 of 495). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,072 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,140 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Woodbine Ave between Merrill Ave E and Mendel Ave, 356 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Woodbine Ave · Merrill Ave E – Mendel Ave · 356 mJun 2017 · 3 days16,64255 km/h63 km/h68 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.
