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 volume14-hour count · Dec 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,032 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,183 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,735 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,735 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,215 from 4:30 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 2018, with 26 collisions; 2025 recorded 19. 42 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Dec 12, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Progress Ave between Rosebank Dr and Orchid Place Dr, 194 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2005 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Malvern St between Sheppard Ave E and 75 Malvern St measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Dec 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Mammoth Hall Trl (294 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 18,703 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Is Sheppard & Progress a walkable intersection?

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee.
