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 · Oct 26, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,508 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 35% of the total, against 3,075 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,034 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,505 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,505 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,034 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
The worst year was 2017, with 44 collisions; 2025 recorded 40. 68 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 48 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 21 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 13, 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.

Is Neilson & McLevin a walkable intersection?
Neilson & McLevin scores 62 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #1,484 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; the city median is 48.

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee.
