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).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Jan 22, 2026

The south leg carries the load — 11,545 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 224. Morning rush is the busier period: 2,711 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 2,084 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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.

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 Leslie St between Denlow Blvd and Longwood Dr (198 m away) recorded an average of 65 km/h in its 24-hour count in July 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 74 km/h. That segment carries about 27,200 vehicles a day. Denlow Blvd between Apollo Dr and Hamlet Gt measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Mar 2026). The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Denlow Blvd (377 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 17,512 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.
