Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 16, 2024 (a weekend day)

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 16,183 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 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

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), 0.4% of the 32,424 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

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, 50 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2026.
