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, Oct 28, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,331 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 740 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (83 of 178). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,051 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,081 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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

On Royal York Rd between Dundas St W and Dundas W, 212 m from the corner, a 2-day count in May 2012 put the average speed at 58 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 71 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,900 vehicles a day. Lambeth Rd between The Kingsway and St George's Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2022). The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lambeth Rd · The Kingsway – St George's Rd · 181 mMay 2022 · 3 days1,39932 km/h38 km/h42 km/h
Royal York Rd · Dundas St W – Dundas W · 212 mMay 2012 · 2 days23,85258 km/h67 km/h71 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.
