On average 65 collisions a year were reported here in 2016–2025 — 39.6 per 10,000 counted vehicles, 8.0× the median rate for counted intersections. Collisions fell 23%, from 364 in 2016–2020 to 282 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 646 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

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: 8,009 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 8 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (62 of 116). Evening rush dominates here: 1,725 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 979 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% 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 Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd, 219 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 50 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 22,700 vehicles a day. Allanford Rd between Cass Ave and Dempster St measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2019). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Allenford Rd (146 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,567 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

The worst year was 2018, with 87 collisions; 2025 recorded 65. 54 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 216 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 32 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city.

Killed or seriously injured

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

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 4, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. The police all-collisions file records 3 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places them just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
