Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 16, 2024 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 22,249 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 13,228 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (71 of 169). Evening rush dominates here: 6,136 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 4,907 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 4,907 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 6,136 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 2016, with 191 collisions; 2025 recorded 100. 129 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 145 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 15 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 63 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 23, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 most recent midblock count on Sheppard Ave E between Clairtrell Rd and Bayview Ave (84 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 21,998 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Spring Garden Ave (291 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 31,649 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Spring Garden Ave (westbound), 291 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 29 km/h, 85th percentile 37 km/h; 0.3% at 50 km/h or more. 31,649 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 11 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,277 rental units. The nearest is 2818 Bayview Ave (125 m, 20 units, 3 storeys, built 1968), which scored 72 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 1,277 units · tallest 19 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.

18 thefts from vehicles and 14 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 3.2 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 36% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 18, 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 Bayview Village.
