Lawrence Ave E & Fortune Gt

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,611 eastbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 791. Most cyclists arrived from the west (91 of 153). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,484 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 56% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,597). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,597 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,484 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and three bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 22, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Golfdale-Cedarbrae-Woburn.
