Leslie & Commissioners

Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 26, 2026

The north leg carries the load — 4,064 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 733. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 853 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 839 from 2:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 20.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 853 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 839 from 2:30 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

2018 was the peak year (26 collisions), and 2025 closed with 7. 8% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 26, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Leslie St between Commissioners St and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (152 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 9,200 vehicles a day.

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.

Toronto Police place nine thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 89% 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 South Riverdale.
