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, Sep 3, 2014

Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 3,113 vehicles entering from the east to 3,664 from the west. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,088 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 9% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (997). 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

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 Queen St E between Pape Ave and Winnifred Ave (168 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Larchmount Avenue between Queen St E and Eastern Ave.

Traffic calming

  • Larchmount Avenue · Queen St E – Eastern Ave
    5 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.
