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, Jun 20, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 2,822 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 80. Most cyclists arrived from the west (560 of 1,041). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 827 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (725). Trucks and buses were 8.1% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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 King St W between Walnut Ave and Stanley Ter (54 m away, Nov 2015) recorded volume only — about 21,450 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
King St W · Walnut Ave – Stanley Ter · 54 mNov 2015 · 7 days21,450

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.
