Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 13, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 9,567 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 483. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,788 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,678 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,788 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,678 from 2:45 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 2021
The City's counter on Lawrence Ave E between Ronan Ave and Wanless Cres (80 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 65 km/h. That segment carries about 21,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
