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, Sep 27, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,921 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2,016. Most cyclists arrived from the east (705 of 1,444). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,358 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,437 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 3 years 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

The City's counter on Dundas St W between Dupont St and Watkinson Ave (148 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 16,100 vehicles a day. Dupont St between Perth Ave and Franklin Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jun 2022). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Indian Road Cres (280 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.7% of the 21,320 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.
