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, May 13, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 6,051 westbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,412. Most cyclists arrived from the east (334 of 747). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,570 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,421). 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 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 counter on Bloor St W between Durie St and Windermere Ave (291 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 13,800 vehicles a day. Runnymede Rd between Deforest Rd and Bloor St W measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (327 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.0% of the 50,493 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
