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 · Dec 15, 2009
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,386 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 68% of the total, against 103 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,068 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (988). Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,068 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 988 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 41 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 33 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (0%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 12, 2026.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
On Lawrence Ave E between Mildenhall Rd and Bayview S, 268 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 58 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 65 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 71 km/h or more. That segment carries about 30,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Lawrence Ave E · Mildenhall Rd – Bayview S · 268 m | Sep 2021 · 3 days | 30,222 | 58 km/h | 65 km/h | 71 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.
