Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 1, 2023 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,458 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 487 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,147 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 601 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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: 601 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,147 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Neilson Rd and Murison Blvd, 201 m from the corner, a 7-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Murison Blvd between United Sq and Curtis Cres measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Sheppard Ave E · Neilson Rd – Murison Blvd · 201 m | Oct 2019 · 7 days | 15,864 | 60 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 km/h |
| Murison Blvd · United Sq – Curtis Cres · 352 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 1,439 | 35 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 km/h |
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.
