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 · Sep 28, 2017
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,468 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 204 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,781 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (2,285). Heavy vehicles made up 2.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 2,781 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,285 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).

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 2011
On Tremont Cres between Lawrence Ave E and Gladwyn Rd, 171 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2011 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lawrence Ave E · Leslie St – Lawrence Walkway · 149 m | Nov 2011 · 3 days | 12,021 | — | — | — |
| Tremont Cres · Lawrence Ave E – Gladwyn Rd · 171 m | Jul 2011 · 24 h | 253 | 27 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 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.
