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, Jul 2, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,251 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 6,278 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,896 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 3,186 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On The Queensway between Queensway W and North Queen St, 164 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,700 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sherway Gardens Rd · Queensway W – Gardiner Expy Express W · 113 mSep 2009 · 3 days9,469
The Queensway · Queensway W – North Queen St · 164 mJun 2023 · 3 days23,66356 km/h67 km/h74 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.
