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, Nov 9, 2025 (a weekend day)

The east leg carries the load — 11,181 westbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 7,462. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,447 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 57% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,189). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 counter on Davenport Rd between Mc Alpine St and Bishop St (396 m away) recorded an average of 37 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 21,100 vehicles a day. Avenue Rd between Bernard Ave and Davenport Rd measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Avenue Rd · Bernard Ave – Davenport Rd · 40 mJun 2025 · 3 days20,49229 km/h42 km/h49 km/h
Davenport Rd · Mc Alpine St – Bishop St · 396 mApr 2024 · 3 days21,08537 km/h48 km/h53 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.
