Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 22, 2024

No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 11,844 and 13,457 vehicles. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,879 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (4,434). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months 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 Lawrence Ave E between The Donway E and Greenland Rd, 322 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,900 vehicles a day. Don Mills Rd between Macklin Hancock Park Trl and The Donway W measured slower: 50 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on The Donway E (263 m away, 40 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 74,774 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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

Killed or seriously injured

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

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2024 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Dec 19, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
