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 — 14-hour, May 5, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 6,907 westbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 37. Most cyclists arrived from the west (541 of 1,245). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,341 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,154). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on Augusta Ave between Wales Ave and Denison Sq (156 m away) recorded an average of 24 km/h in its 5-day count in March 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Augusta Ave · Wales Ave – Denison Sq · 156 mMar 2007 · 5 days2,07424 km/h35 km/h43 km/h
Dundas St W · Spadina Ave – Willison Pl · 212 mJan 2016 · 7 days6,557

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.
