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, Jan 22, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 11,567 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 324 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,607 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 31% above the afternoon peak from 3:00 p.m. (1,992). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Leslie St between Denlow Blvd and Longwood Dr, 197 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2017 put the average speed at 65 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 79 km/h or more. That segment carries about 27,200 vehicles a day. Longwood Dr between Leslie St and Alderdale Crt measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Nov 2014). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Longwood Dr · Leslie St – Alderdale Crt · 67 mNov 2014 · 24 h86940 km/h47 km/h51 km/h
Leslie St · Denlow Blvd – Longwood Dr · 197 mJul 2017 · 24 h27,19165 km/h74 km/h79 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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
