Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,226 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 30 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,299 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,308 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,299 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,308 from 4:15 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 2019, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 10. 15 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 26, 2009.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Queen St E between Bertmount Ave and Larchmount Ave (369 m away, Jun 2013) recorded volume only — about 14,608 vehicles a day — with no speed data. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Leslie Street between Queen St E and Gerrard St E.

Leslie Street (Queen St E – Gerrard St E): 8 speed humps

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.

18 registered buildings · 913 units · 15 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.

Eight thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.4 a year. 50% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 50% of the bike thefts were from other premises. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 21, 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.
