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 · Oct 28, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,846 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 829 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,897 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,685 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 1,685 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,897 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 2022, with 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 16 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 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 Nov 21, 2008.

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 2018
On Lawrence Ave W between Pine St and Lane E of Ralph and N of Lawrence, 205 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2013 put the average speed at 55 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 21,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Ralph St between Boyd Ave and Macdonald Ave measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ralph St · Boyd Ave – Macdonald Ave · 122 m | Jun 2018 · 24 h | 1,198 | 30 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave W · Pine St – Lane E of Ralph and N of Lawrence · 205 m | Oct 2013 · 24 h | 21,052 | 55 km/h | 65 km/h | 73 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.
