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 18, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 5,382 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,286. Most cyclists arrived from the east (238 of 526). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 998 vehicles in the hour from 3:15 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (893). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 most recent midblock count on St Clair Ave W between Dufferin St and St Clair Gdns (134 m away, Jan 2019) recorded volume only — about 6,911 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
St Clair Ave W · Dufferin St – St Clair Gdns · 134 mJan 2019 · 7 days6,911

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.
