Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · 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 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 1,604 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,812 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
How fast traffic moves here
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. 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.
