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, Jun 30, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 17,129 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,189. Most cyclists arrived from the north (124 of 257). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,996 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,649). Trucks and buses were 6.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. 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 Patricia Ave between Lariviere Rd and Goulding Park Trl (273 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Yonge St · Connaught Ave – Patricia Ave · 51 mOct 2012 · 3 days27,944
Patricia Ave · Lariviere Rd – Goulding Park Trl · 273 mApr 2026 · 3 days2,00837 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.
