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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Feb 3, 2026

The west leg carries the load — 8,467 eastbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 505. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,874 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,918 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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 counter on Sheppard Ave E between Water Tower Gt and Conlins Rd (104 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 7-day count in October 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 22,500 vehicles a day. Conlins Rd between Milner Ave and Auto Mall Dr measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Nov 2020). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Sheppard Ave E · Water Tower Gt – Conlins Rd · 104 mOct 2019 · 7 days22,49364 km/h73 km/h79 km/h
Conlins Rd · Milner Ave – Auto Mall Dr · 247 mNov 2020 · 3 days4,75551 km/h59 km/h65 km/h

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.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
