Traffic volume

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

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,380 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,418 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,901 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,870 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.5% 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 Lawrence W and Lawrence E, 241 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. Blossomfield Dr between Lawrence Ave W and Dane Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (May 2023). The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Cork Ave (230 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 6,712 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 21, 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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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

Seven thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 0.3 a year before that. 57% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.
