Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 19, 2025 · weekend

The south leg carries the load — 15,069 northbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 7,876. Most cyclists arrived from the east (47 of 110). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,340 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 59% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (2,724). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,724 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 4,340 from 2:15 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

2017 was the peak year (142 collisions), and 2025 closed with 130. 16% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 150 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 76 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.

Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 13, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 2 fatal collisions here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places one of them just outside the 65 m radius.

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

The City's counter on Kennedy Rd between Sheppard Ave E and Bonis Ave (145 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 33,200 vehicles a day. Sheppard Ave E between Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Aug 2026).

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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 1,506 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 2250 Kennedy Rd (161 m, 136 units, 18 storeys, built 1960), which scored 97 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

11 registered buildings · 1,506 units · 1 social housing · tallest 18 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 47 thefts from vehicles and eight bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 9.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 11 in 2023–2025, about 3.7 a year, against 6.3 a year before that. 77% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 38% of the bike thefts were from commercial premises — shops, offices and their lots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 2, 2026.

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 Tam O'Shanter-Sullivan.
