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 22, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,032 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 371. Most cyclists arrived from the west (301 of 568). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,167 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (985). Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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

The City's counter on Davenport Rd between Walkway W of Lightbourn and S of Davenport and Greenlaw Ave (108 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 49 km/h. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. Lightbourn Ave between Brandon Ave and Chandos Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2017). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (273 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 90,770 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 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.
