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 · Feb 29, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 17,001 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 188 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,889 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,054 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,889 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,054 from 4:30 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 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 6 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2020
On Lawrence Ave E between The Donway E and Greenland Rd, 210 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2020 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Lawrence Ave E · The Donway E – Greenland Rd · 210 m | Nov 2020 · 3 days | 36,921 | 59 km/h | 67 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.
