Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Lawrence Ave E & Warden Ave — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Warden & Lawrence, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Apartment buildings nearby
RentSafeTO-registered rental buildings within 1 km, with the City's latest evaluation score
Within a kilometre there are six RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 817 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2015 Lawrence Ave E (51 m, 158 units, 11 storeys, built 1994), which scored 96 out of 100 at its September 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation.

The Landlord and Tenant Board issued 11 final orders naming these buildings in the latest half-year of its catalogue, and 2 fire-code violations are open across them.

The City's RentSafeTO register — rental apartment buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units — with the score from each building's latest City evaluation (out of 100; poor scores trigger a full audit). LTB orders are final Landlord and Tenant Board orders naming the address (Jan 2026 – Jun 2026); fire-code violations are open items in Toronto Fire Services' inspection data. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport. Condominiums and houses are not registered.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking

|---|---|---|---|
| 1940 Lawrence Avenue East · Surface | 372 m | 25 * | — |
Nearest lots: 55 m away, ≈23 spaces; 83 m away, ≈73 spaces; 84 m away, ≈45 spaces; 89 m away, ≈159 spaces; 111 m away, ≈476 spaces; 138 m away, ≈106 spaces.
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, May 21, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 17,531 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 11,436 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,181 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,482 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
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 Wayne Ave and Lilian Dr, 174 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2008 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Ave · Hancock Cres – Lawrence Ave E · 59 m | Feb 2016 · 7 days | 14,930 | — | — | — |
| Lawrence Ave E · Wayne Ave – Lilian Dr · 174 m | Nov 2008 · 24 h | 22,953 | 53 km/h | 63 km/h | 68 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.
All police-reported collisions
Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
The worst year was 2024, with 133 collisions; 2025 recorded 88. 112 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 81 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 66 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 29, 2026.

Exposure-adjusted: 14.4 collisions per year per 10,000 daily vehicles, using the latest 14-hour count.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 8, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 1 | #1127 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | #645 of 879 |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 5 | latest May 8, 2024 |
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

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Mar 24, 2020. 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.
