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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Jun 21, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,870 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 88. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,138 of 2,157). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,354 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,422 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.

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 Queen St W between Gore Vale Ave and Strachan Ave (131 m away, Nov 2015) recorded volume only — about 20,724 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Bellwoods Avenue between Dundas St W and Queen St W.

Traffic calming

  • Bellwoods Avenue · Dundas St W – Queen St W
    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.
