Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. 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, Oct 19, 2025 (a weekend day)

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 16,183 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.

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 counter on Sheppard Ave E between Allanford Rd and Kennedy Rd (218 m away) recorded an average of 50 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 60 km/h. That segment carries about 22,700 vehicles a day. Kennedy Rd between Sheppard Ave E and Bonis Ave measured slower: 45 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 56 km/h (Apr 2026). The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Kennedy Rd · Sheppard Ave E – Bonis Ave · 145 mApr 2026 · 3 days33,17145 km/h56 km/h63 km/h
Sheppard Ave E · Allanford Rd – Kennedy Rd · 218 mSep 2019 · 2 days22,65950 km/h60 km/h67 km/h

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.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
