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 — 14-hour, Jul 3, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 13,213 westbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7,441. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,972 of 2,858). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,339 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,289 from 5:15 p.m. 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 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Jarvis St between King St E and St. James Park Trl (188 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 5-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Richmond St E · Jarvis St – George St · 51 mOct 2007 · 3 days18,565
Jarvis St · King St E – St. James Park Trl · 188 mSep 2021 · 5 days6,80530 km/h42 km/h48 km/h

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.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%.
