Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 22, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,923 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 986 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (46 of 95). Evening rush dominates here: 2,255 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 2,046 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,046 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,255 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 24 collisions. 21 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 28 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 28, 2013. 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.

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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Lawrence Ave E between Rushley Dr and Brimley Rd, 371 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 35,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Barrymore Rd between Huntchester Cres and Kilbride Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Rushley Dr – Brimley Rd · 371 m | Apr 2019 · 2 days | 35,199 | 51 km/h | 65 km/h | 73 km/h |
| Barrymore Rd · Huntchester Cres – Kilbride Rd · 397 m | Sep 2026 · 3 days | 2,323 | 37 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
