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, Feb 22, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,390 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 149 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (74 of 164). Evening rush dominates here: 480 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 443 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Dovercourt Rd between Harrison St and Churchill Ave, 352 m from the corner, a 7-day count in September 2025 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more.

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.
