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 23, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,779 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 170 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (104 of 234). Evening rush dominates here: 1,757 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,588 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. 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

On Dupont St between Lane W of St George and S of Dupont and Huron St, 24 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. Huron St between Bernard Ave and Dupont St measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Nov 2021). The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Dupont St · Lane W of St George and S of Dupont – Huron St · 24 mAug 2004 · 3 days24,34640 km/h50 km/h57 km/h
Huron St · Bernard Ave – Dupont St · 155 mNov 2021 · 3 days3,04330 km/h37 km/h42 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.
