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, Sep 9, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 10,471 westbound vehicles, or 78% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,198. Most cyclists arrived from the east (3,930 of 4,520). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,225 vehicles in the hour from 6:00 p.m., 41% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (867). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Richmond St W between Duncan St and John St (67 m away, Sep 2013) recorded volume only — about 16,891 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Richmond St W · Duncan St – John St · 67 mSep 2013 · 3 days16,891

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.
