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 — 8-hour, Dec 14, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 3,179 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7. Most cyclists arrived from the east (170 of 406). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,011 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (806). Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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 Carlton St between Homewood Ave and Sherbourne St (50 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 2-day count in February 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 41 km/h. That segment carries about 9,200 vehicles a day. Homewood Ave between Maribeth Ave and Maitland Pl measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2022). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sherbourne St (222 m away, 30 km/h limit), 19% of the 133,430 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

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.
