Sheppard & Goddard

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

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,982 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 246 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,157 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 1,389 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 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.

Peak hours: 1,389 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,157 from 3:30 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

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 11 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 12, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 8, 2025.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Sheppard Ave W between Blairville Rd and Wilmington Ave, 251 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2026 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 25,200 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Faywood Blvd (329 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.8% of the 146,796 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

Within a kilometre there are eight RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 486 rental units. The nearest is 1 Wilmington Ave (351 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1959), which scored 93 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 92, about the citywide norm.

8 registered buildings · 486 units · tallest 14 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.

14 thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 3.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 3 in 2023–2025, about 1.0 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Clanton Park.
