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
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 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,711 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,084 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 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. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 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) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Denlow Blvd (377 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 16,813 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
