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 1, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,654 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 33 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (54 of 105). Evening rush dominates here: 1,271 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,088 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Dundas St W between Chelsea Ave and Glenlake Ave, 103 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,800 vehicles a day. Chelsea Ave between Dundas St W and Lane W of Dundas and S of Glenlake measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2006). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St W (367 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 4,185 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Chelsea Avenue between Indian Road Crescent and Dundas St W.

Traffic calming

    4 speed humps

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.
