Mount Pleasant & St Leonard's

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 30, 2024

The south leg carries the load — 7,745 northbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 486. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,821 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 25% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (1,455). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,455 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,821 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

2022 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 18% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from May 29, 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 St Leonard's Ave between Mount Pleasant Rd and Dundurn Rd (72 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 24-hour count in December 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

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 Lawrence Park South.
