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, Jul 23, 1990

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 3,420 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 473. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,047 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (926). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 36 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1990, 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 counter on Bond St between Shuter St and Dundas St E (289 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 2-day count in July 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Bond St · Shuter St – Dundas St E · 289 mJul 2023 · 2 days1,55025 km/h34 km/h42 km/h
Queen St E · Jarvis St – George St · 362 mMar 2021 · 7 days4,240

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.
