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, Jun 25, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 8,298 westbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,399. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,886 vehicles in the hour from 2:30 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:15 a.m. (1,660). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 15 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 Sherbourne St between Selby St and Bloor St E (53 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 7,000 vehicles a day. Bloor St E between Redrocket Lane and Parliament St measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Sep 2021). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Mt. Pleasant Rd (273 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 2,214 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 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.
