Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Feb 28, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,457 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 5,735 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,014 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,277 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

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

On Sheppard Ave E between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd, 263 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2025 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 66 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,300 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Don Mills Rd · George Henry Blvd – Sheppard Ave E · 92 mMar 2010 · 3 days15,992
Sheppard Ave E · Shaughnessy Blvd – Don Mills Rd · 263 mDec 2025 · 3 days28,28853 km/h60 km/h66 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.

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

None of the five serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 4 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 5 happened in darkness — 20%, below the citywide 39%. 2018 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Apr 12, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.
