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, Mar 24, 2026

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 5,645 and 6,425 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (504 of 1,215). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,000 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,922 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% 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 Yonge St between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave, 397 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Roehampton Ave (228 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.7% of the 93,246 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 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.
