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, Jul 8, 2020

The east leg carries the load — 3,306 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 36. Most cyclists arrived from the east (446 of 648). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 790 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (717). Trucks and buses were 11.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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 Dundas St E between Broadview Ave and Lane E of Broadview and N of Dundas (95 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 5,000 vehicles a day. Hamilton St between Mountstephen St and Gerrard St E measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2023). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (89 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 208,455 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Hamilton Street between Dundas St E and Kintyre Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.

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.
