Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

The west leg carries the load — 14,758 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,135. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,579 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 26% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,045). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

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

The City's counter on Sheppard Ave E between Shaughnessy Blvd and Don Mills Rd (264 m away) recorded an average of 53 km/h in its 3-day count in December 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 28,300 vehicles a day. Shaughnessy Blvd between Denver Cres and Silkwood Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2024).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Shaughnessy Blvd · Denver Cres – Silkwood Cres · 120 mSep 2024 · 3 days3,43740 km/h47 km/h52 km/h
Sheppard Ave E · Shaughnessy Blvd – Don Mills Rd · 264 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.
