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, Oct 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,865 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 306 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (128 of 238). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,877 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,022 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Kingston Rd between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave, 264 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2022 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,600 vehicles a day. Kingswood Rd between Bracken Ave and Kingston Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (May 2017). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Kingswood Road between Kingston Rd and Gerrard St E.

Traffic calming

  • Kingswood Road · Kingston Rd – Gerrard St E
    7 speed humps

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
