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 — 8-hour, Jun 27, 2011

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,900 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 576 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,685 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,556 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 du Maurier Blvd and Wanless Ave, 212 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 29,100 vehicles a day. Ranleigh Ave between Yonge St and Ranleigh Park Trl measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jul 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Ranleigh Ave (131 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 2,696 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.
