That comes with about 4.1 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. The pace has been steady: 21 collisions in 2016–2020 and 20 in 2021–2025.

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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 4, 2020

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,699 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 748 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,295 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,034 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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 Lawrence Ave W between Ledbury St and Chicoutimi Ave, 268 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2024 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,600 vehicles a day. Glen Rush Blvd between Frontenac Ave and Caribou Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (May 2019).

Lawrence Ave W · Ledbury St – Chicoutimi Ave · 268 mApr 2024 · 3 days28,58246 km/h57 km/h63 km/h

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
