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, Nov 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,792 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 286 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,797 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 most recent midblock count on Buchan Crt between Sheppard Ave E and Bloorview Pl (66 m away, Feb 2002) recorded volume only — about 2,040 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Buchan Crt · Sheppard Ave E – Bloorview Pl · 66 mFeb 2002 · 24 h2,040
Sheppard Ave E · Betty Sutherland Trl – Maris Shepway · 299 mSep 2014 · 7 days19,193

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

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Mar 26, 2026.
