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, Sep 19, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 6,030 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 274. Most cyclists arrived from the west (216 of 226). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,752 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,827 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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 counter on Rhodes Ave between Hanson St and Lane S of Danforth and W of Coxwell (233 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Wolverleigh Blvd (265 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 18,455 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.
