Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 18, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,676 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 10,662 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,669 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,794 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,669 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,794 from 4:45 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 worst year was 2017, with 72 collisions; 2025 recorded 45. 95 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 53 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 31 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Mar 30, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

Is Leslie & Finch a walkable intersection?
