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, Jul 25, 2026 (a weekend day)

The north leg carries the load — 4,704 southbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,193. Most cyclists arrived from the east (3,183 of 5,006). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,194 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (974). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Richmond St W between Bathurst St and Gershon Iskowitz Lane (80 m away) recorded an average of 29 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Richmond St W · Bathurst St – Gershon Iskowitz Lane · 80 mApr 2024 · 3 days1,62129 km/h37 km/h40 km/h
Bathurst St · King St W – Browns Lane · 257 mMay 2015 · 7 days12,163

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.
