Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 18, 2023 · weekend

The south leg carries the load — 3,745 northbound vehicles, or 38% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 900. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,633 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 118% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (750). Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 750 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,633 from 2:00 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

2016 was the peak year (22 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 16, 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 Clansman Blvd and Dexter Blvd (368 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 18,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cummer Ave between Pineway Blvd and Mallaby Rd measured slower: 50 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 57 km/h (Sep 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Leslie St (299 m away, 50 km/h limit), 6.8% of the 55,456 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Hillcrest Village.
