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, Oct 30, 2024

The west leg carries the load — 9,720 eastbound vehicles, or 36% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 3,229. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,251 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,304 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 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 Ronan Ave and Wanless Cres (288 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. Lawrence Cres between Lympstone Ave and Mount Pleasant Rd (Id: 2364668) measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2024). The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Lawrence Ave E · Ronan Ave – Wanless Cres · 288 mNov 2021 · 3 days21,00957 km/h65 km/h71 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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 3, 2010.

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
