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, Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,397 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 387 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,450 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,562 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Dufferin St between Norton Ave and Ascot Ave, 213 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,600 vehicles a day. Cloverlawn Ave between Northcliffe Blvd and Westmount Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Aug 2014).

Cloverlawn Ave · Northcliffe Blvd – Westmount Ave · 140 mAug 2014 · 2 days1,17030 km/h37 km/h40 km/h
Dufferin St · Norton Ave – Ascot Ave · 213 mMar 2026 · 3 days22,60536 km/h46 km/h50 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.
