Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 28, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,629 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 258 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,181 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,333 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 2,181 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,333 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 W between Beecroft Rd and Albert Standing Park Trl, 172 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2018 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sheppard Ave W · Beecroft Rd – Albert Standing Park Trl · 172 m | Nov 2018 · 3 days | 23,328 | 52 km/h | 63 km/h | 69 km/h |
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.
