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, Oct 19, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,298 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 31 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,382 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 810 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Scunthorpe Rd and Markham Rd, 128 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,600 vehicles a day.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sheppard Ave E · Scunthorpe Rd – Markham Rd · 128 mAug 2023 · 3 days16,61040 km/h49 km/h55 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

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

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

13 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft.

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.
