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 — 14-hour, Jan 20, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 21,722 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 80% of the total, against 2,602 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,192 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (2,004). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 York St between Harbour St and Lakeshore E (64 m away, Sep 2012) recorded volume only — about 7,458 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
York St · Harbour St – Lakeshore E · 64 mSep 2012 · 3 days7,458
Harbour St · Bay St – York St · 144 mMay 2011 · 24 h19,917

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.
