Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 16, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,001 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 374 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (64 of 142). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 335 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (309). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 335 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 309 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2003
On Old Foundry Rd between St Lawrence St and Lawren Harris Sq, 24 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2003 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Foundry Rd · St Lawrence St – Lawren Harris Sq · 24 m | Aug 2003 · 24 h | 1,069 | 38 km/h | 49 km/h | 57 km/h |
| St Lawrence St · Trolley Cres – King St E · 165 m | May 2021 · 7 days | 1,066 | — | — | — |
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.
