Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Mar 24, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,703 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 16 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,338 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 2,054 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Lawrence Ave W between Keele St and Pimlico Rd (186 m away, Nov 2011) recorded volume only — about 33,996 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave W · Keele St – Pimlico Rd · 186 mNov 2011 · 3 days33,996

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

The worst year was 2022, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 12 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 17, 2026.
