Dudley & Sheppard (West)

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 18, 2013

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,620 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 80 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,343 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 3,052 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 3,052 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,343 from 4:15 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 2023, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 4 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 14, 2026.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2018

On Sheppard Ave E between Bonnington Pl and Kenneth Ave, 260 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2018 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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 ten RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,402 rental units. The nearest is 2 Forest Laneway (622 m, 366 units, 29 storeys, built 1976), which scored 90 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

10 registered buildings · 1,402 units · tallest 36 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.

One theft from a vehicle and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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 Avondale.
