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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2020
On Lawrence Ave E between Lawrence W and Underhill Dr, 330 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 64 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 75 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 90 km/h or more.

| Lawrence Ave E · Lawrence W – Underhill Dr · 330 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 45,648 | 64 km/h | 75 km/h | 90 km/h |
