Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 6, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 25,469 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 2. Most cyclists arrived from the north (666 of 1,432). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,055 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,121 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,055 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,121 from 4:15 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.

Is Lake Shore & Strachan a walkable intersection?
Lake Shore & Strachan scores 68 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #992 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; the city median is 48.
