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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 16, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,681 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 749 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (1,539 of 2,764). Evening rush dominates here: 1,154 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 955 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 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

On Breadalbane St between St Luke Lane and Bay St, 136 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2024 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 38 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. Yonge St between Maitland St and Wellesley St W measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Aug 2026). At the school-zone speed sign on Alexander St (372 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 61,958 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.
