Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Eastern Ave & Carlaw Ave — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Carlaw & Eastern, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, Oct 8, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,001 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 3,426 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,059 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,626 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
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
On Eastern Ave between Lane W of Pape and N of Eastern and Pape Ave, 173 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,700 vehicles a day. Carlaw Ave between Kit Hood Lane and Queen St E measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Jun 2017). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (259 m away, 30 km/h limit), 20% of the 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

| Eastern Ave · Lane W of Pape and N of Eastern – Pape Ave · 173 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 17,734 | 44 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |

School-zone speed sign 259 m
Carlaw Ave (southbound), 180 Carlaw Avenue · 96,853 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2019, with 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 15 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 29, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Sep 28, 2008.
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 reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
15 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.7 a year. 53% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Reported | 2023–2025 | Since Jan 2026 | Most often from |

| Theft from a vehicle | 15 | 5 | 0 | street/outdoor (8), house driveway/garage (5) |

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Oct 18, 2025. Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself.
