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). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Mar 29, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,163 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 41 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,846 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,360 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

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

On Sheppard Ave E between Longmore St and Wilfred Ave, 98 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,100 vehicles a day. Longmore St between Sheppard Ave E and Maplehurst Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Sep 2013). The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Longmore St · Sheppard Ave E – Maplehurst Ave · 45 mSep 2013 · 24 h2,00839 km/h47 km/h53 km/h
Sheppard Ave E · Longmore St – Wilfred Ave · 98 mOct 2018 · 3 days28,11750 km/h60 km/h68 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.

Killed or seriously injured

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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

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