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 14, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,736 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 529. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,167 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 62% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,958). Trucks and buses were 6.8% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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 Wedgewood Dr between Yonge St and Tobruk Cres (160 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 53 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Drewry Ave (360 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 29,345 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
