Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 1, 2023 · weekend
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 2,770 and 3,132 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,899 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 928 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% 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. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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.
Peak hours: 928 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,899 from 2:00 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 worst year was 2022, with 22 collisions; 2025 recorded 17. 37 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 cyclist and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). The most recent was on Apr 29, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 8.

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 E between Meadowvale Rd and Twyn Rivers Dr, 142 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2025 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,200 vehicles a day.

Is Sheppard & Meadowvale a dangerous intersection?
By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #88 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.

Is Sheppard & Meadowvale a walkable intersection?

Within a walk: 8 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; 1 park within 500 m; nearest school 0.8 km · 1 licensed child care within 1 km. The crossing itself: traffic signal · accessible signals.
