Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, May 21, 2025

The west leg carries the load — 6,244 eastbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,317. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,744 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,637 from 3:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Lawrence Ave E between Wildflower Way and Valia Rd (298 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2023; 85% of drivers were at or under 70 km/h. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. Manse Rd between Chelmer Gt and Kingston Rd measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 56 km/h (Nov 2009).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Lawrence Ave E · Wildflower Way – Valia Rd · 298 mAug 2023 · 3 days11,87564 km/h70 km/h76 km/h
Manse Rd · Chelmer Gt – Kingston Rd · 317 mNov 2009 · 24 h3,26148 km/h56 km/h61 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
