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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Aug 13, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 9,286 eastbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 5,659. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,202 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,364 from 5:30 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 2 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 Dupont St between Lansdowne Ave and Campbell Ave (240 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 13,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lansdowne Ave · Lane S of Dupont and E of Lansdowne – Dupont St · 22 mApr 2010 · 3 days12,209
Dupont St · Lansdowne Ave – Campbell Ave · 240 mJun 2022 · 7 days13,54838 km/h47 km/h51 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.
