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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.
Traffic volume
The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Oct 26, 2025 (a weekend day)
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 14,751 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 7,624 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 4,418 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,380 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.
How fast traffic moves here
Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming
On Lawrence Ave E between Victoria Park Ave and Townley Ave, 332 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2017 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,300 vehicles a day. Pharmacy Ave between Goldsmith Ave and Brian Ave measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (May 2026). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (166 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 64,382 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmacy Ave · Goldsmith Ave – Brian Ave · 226 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 19,938 | 44 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave E · Victoria Park Ave – Townley Ave · 332 m | Apr 2017 · 24 h | 25,311 | 54 km/h | 64 km/h | 69 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 166 m
Pharmacy Ave (southbound), 55 Breckonwood Crescent · 64,382 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 74 collisions. 82 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 63 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 51 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 2026.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jun 18, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|

| Involving a motorcyclist | 1 | |
| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Jun 18, 2023 |
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.
