Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · 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 16,177 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.
Peak hours: 1,901 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,870 from 4:00 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 worst year was 2018, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 9 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 21, 2006.

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 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. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 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). 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.
