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 — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 5,799 eastbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 4,060. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,561 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,406). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dundas St E between Carroll St and Munro St (388 m away, Apr 2015) recorded volume only — about 17,547 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dundas St E · Carroll St – Munro St · 388 mApr 2015 · 24 h17,547

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.
