Sheppard & Reidmount

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 5, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,386 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 255 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,598 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,654 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 2,598 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,654 from 5:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 10 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 26, 2026.

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

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 Reidmount Ave between Dowry St and Marilyn Ave, 343 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2024 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

8 registered buildings · 1,176 units · 1 social housing · tallest 18 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

29 thefts from vehicles and three bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 5.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 6 in 2023–2025, about 2.0 a year, against 3.7 a year before that. 55% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Agincourt South-Malvern West.
