Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · 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 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,607 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,992 from 3:00 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 3 collisions (16%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2017
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. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 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).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longwood Dr · Leslie St – Alderdale Crt · 67 m | Nov 2014 · 24 h | 869 | 40 km/h | 47 km/h | 51 km/h |
| Leslie St · Denlow Blvd – Longwood Dr · 197 m | Jul 2017 · 24 h | 27,191 | 65 km/h | 74 km/h | 79 km/h |
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.
