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, Mar 24, 2024 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,166 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,083 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,214 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 887 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Wallace Ave between Pauline Ave and Brock Ave, 382 m from the corner, a 7-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 29 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 33 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Wallace Avenue between Lansdowne Ave and Dufferin St.

Traffic calming

  • Wallace Avenue · Lansdowne Ave – Dufferin St
    7 speed humps

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.
