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, Nov 12, 2015

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,073 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 371 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (32 of 56). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,208 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,230 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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

On Fifth St between Lane N of Lake Shore and W of Fourth and Birmingham St, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Fifth St · Lane N of Lake Shore and W of Fourth – Birmingham St · 167 mJun 2025 · 3 days91431 km/h38 km/h43 km/h

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.
