Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, 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 16,183 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 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. Barrymore Rd between Huntchester Cres and Kilbride Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Sep 2011). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave E · Rushley Dr – Brimley Rd · 371 mApr 2019 · 2 days35,19951 km/h65 km/h73 km/h
Barrymore Rd · Huntchester Cres – Kilbride Rd · 397 mSep 2011 · 24 h1,10743 km/h52 km/h58 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.

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

Nothing 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.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

14 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.
