Sheppard & Easton

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 9,951 eastbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 149. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,919 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 70% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,129). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 1,129 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,919 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

2019 was the peak year (10 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 7, 2016.

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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Sheppard Ave W between Easton Rd and Brentwood Ave (7 m away, Apr 2014) recorded volume only — about 26,823 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

Four registered apartment buildings with 755 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — well below the median of 15.

None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

4 registered buildings · 755 units · tallest 13 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Lansing-Westgate.
