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, Feb 26, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 15,391 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 172 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,589 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,316 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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 Bouchette St between Commissioners St and Lake Shore Blvd E, 160 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bouchette St · Commissioners St – Lake Shore Blvd E · 160 mApr 2024 · 3 days1,04538 km/h48 km/h54 km/h
Lake Shore Blvd E · Morse St – Carlaw Ave · 366 mApr 2013 · 3 days57,596

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.
