Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, Nov 25, 2023 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 4,990 eastbound vehicles, or 33% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,614. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,291 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 79% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,283). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Dovercourt Rd between Dupont St and Geary Ave (34 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 13,400 vehicles a day. Dupont St between Salem Ave and Bartlett Ave measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jun 2022). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dovercourt Rd · Dupont St – Geary Ave · 34 mNov 2021 · 3 days13,42846 km/h55 km/h60 km/h
Dupont St · Salem Ave – Bartlett Ave · 256 mJun 2022 · 7 days18,58143 km/h50 km/h55 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.
