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, Oct 28, 2025

The north leg carries the load — 4,937 southbound vehicles, or 40% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 497. Most cyclists arrived from the north (313 of 705). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,136 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (921). Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Lappin Ave between Lane W of Dufferin and S of Lappin and Emerson Ave (389 m away) recorded an average of 25 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 30 km/h. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lansdowne Ave · Lane S of Dupont and E of Lansdowne – Dupont St · 191 mApr 2010 · 3 days12,209
Lappin Ave · Lane W of Dufferin and S of Lappin – Emerson Ave · 389 mApr 2026 · 3 days2,41925 km/h30 km/h34 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.
