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, May 25, 2016

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,403 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 112 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,902 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (1,663). Trucks and buses were 13.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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

On Danforth Rd between Winter Ave and Falmouth Ave, 78 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,000 vehicles a day. Falmouth Ave between Ordway Rd and Brussels Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (96 m away, 50 km/h limit), 11% of the 205,263 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
