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, Jun 22, 2023

The north leg carries the load — 2,061 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 26. Most cyclists arrived from the north (245 of 508). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 666 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 20% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (553). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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 Marion St between Lane W of Sorauren and S of Marion and Roncesvalles Ave (112 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (337 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 20,258 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
