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, Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 3,820 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 170. Most cyclists arrived from the east (140 of 256). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,111 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,072 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 5 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.

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 most recent midblock count on Danforth Ave between Greenwood Ave and Ladysmith Ave (175 m away, Aug 2015) recorded volume only — about 20,353 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Mountjoy Ave (218 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 12,149 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
