Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend

The east leg carries the load — 17,306 westbound vehicles, or 31% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 11,774. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,129 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 37% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (3,751). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 3,751 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 5,129 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2017 was the peak year (112 collisions), and 2025 closed with 103. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 118 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 80 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 motorcyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The last one inside the window was in 2023. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Sep 28, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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 2022

The City's counter on Lawrence Ave E between Victoria Park Ave and Townley Ave (99 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 64 km/h. That segment carries about 25,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Victoria Park Ave between Janet Blvd and Lawrence Ave E measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2022) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

25 registered apartment buildings with 2,120 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1725 Lawrence Ave E (134 m, 43 units, 6 storeys, built 1960), which scored 94 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

25 registered buildings · 2,120 units · 1 social housing · tallest 15 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place 12 thefts from vehicles and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.3 a year. 83% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Wexford/Maryvale.
