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 24, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 9,865 eastbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,798. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,217 of 2,963). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,306 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,908). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Broadview Ave between Pretoria Ave and Browning Ave (395 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 4-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. Danforth Ave between Playter Blvd and Bowden St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Apr 2025). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Danforth Ave · Playter Blvd – Bowden St · 358 mApr 2025 · 7 days16,03328 km/h38 km/h44 km/h
Broadview Ave · Pretoria Ave – Browning Ave · 395 mApr 2018 · 4 days16,80947 km/h57 km/h63 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.
