Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 26, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 11,704 eastbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 4,863. Most cyclists arrived from the north (49 of 119). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,085 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 28% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,412). Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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: 2,412 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,085 from 4:00 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

2019 was the peak year (78 collisions), and 2025 closed with 63. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 88 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 2 cyclists were among those hurt. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Jul 29, 2023. 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Leslie St between Commissioners St and Lake Shore Blvd East Trl (195 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.

Ten registered apartment buildings with 425 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, eight of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 802 Eastern Ave (302 m, 16 units, 3 storeys, built 1995), which scored 94 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 425 units · 8 social housing · tallest 6 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place ten thefts from vehicles and 30 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 6.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 4.6 a year before that. 90% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 20, 2026.

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.
