Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 10, 2026

The east leg carries the load — 11,201 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 39. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,812 vehicles in the hour from 3:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,604). Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 Lawrence Ave W between Lawrence W and Lawrence E (331 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. Bolingbroke Rd between Cork Ave and Lawrence Ave W measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cork Ave (153 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 6,712 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
