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.

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 8, 2025
The north leg carries the load — 11,575 southbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 8,487. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,406 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,396 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
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
The City's counter on Lawrence Ave W between Lorindale Ave and Unsworth Ave (156 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 55 km/h. That segment carries about 20,900 vehicles a day. Yonge St between du Maurier Blvd and Wanless Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jun 2025). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Ranleigh Ave (315 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 2,696 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · du Maurier Blvd – Wanless Ave · 100 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 29,095 | 33 km/h | 44 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Lawrence Ave W · Lorindale Ave – Unsworth Ave · 156 m | Jun 2019 · 7 days | 20,873 | 45 km/h | 55 km/h | 60 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 315 m
Ranleigh Ave (eastbound), 47 Ranleigh Ave · 2,696 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
2024 was the peak year (89 collisions), and 2025 closed with 62. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 73 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

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, two were fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Feb 2, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All KSI collisions | 3 | #54 of 1,505 |
| Fatal | 2 | #15 of 319 |

| In darkness | 1 | 33% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Feb 2, 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
Toronto Police place two thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft.

Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 16, 2026.

Source: Toronto Police Service, Theft From Motor Vehicle and Bicycle Thefts open data, records through Jun 16, 2026. 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.
