Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 23, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,017 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 6,890 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (61 of 120). Evening rush dominates here: 3,392 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 2,319 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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: 2,319 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,392 from 2:30 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 2019, with 66 collisions; 2025 recorded 50. 78 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 65 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 19 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Aug 21, 2019.

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 Reidmount Ave and Agincourt Dr (360 m away, Sep 2014) recorded volume only — about 15,763 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Midland Ave (272 m away, 50 km/h limit), 9.5% of the 130,080 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #89 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.

Is Midland & Sheppard a walkable intersection?
Midland & Sheppard scores 63 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #1,331 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; the city median is 48.

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee.
