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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,877 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 124 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (288 of 544). Evening rush dominates here: 1,308 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,139 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Bloor St W between Kingscourt Dr and Kingsmill Rd, 142 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,000 vehicles a day. Kings Lynn Rd between Bloor St W and King Georges Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Mar 2007).

Bloor St W · Kingscourt Dr – Kingsmill Rd · 142 mMay 2026 · 3 days17,03043 km/h49 km/h54 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.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
