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, Jun 4, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,066 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,276 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (282 of 662). Evening rush dominates here: 493 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:15 p.m., against 301 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 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 Dovercourt Rd between Humbert St and Argyle St, 153 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 24 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 31 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. Foxley St between Foxley Pl and Grove Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (Apr 2024). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dovercourt Rd · Humbert St – Argyle St · 153 mJun 2022 · 7 days3,62924 km/h31 km/h35 km/h
Foxley St · Foxley Pl – Grove Ave · 176 mApr 2024 · 3 days1,04323 km/h31 km/h35 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
