Sheppard & Twyn Rivers

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,703 eastbound vehicles, or 53% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 58. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 943 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 27% above the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. (744). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 744 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 943 from 4:45 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

2024 was the peak year (12 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 23% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 13 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 12, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 8, 2012.

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

The City's counter on Sheppard Ave E between Meadowvale Rd and Twyn Rivers Dr (237 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2025; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 10,200 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.

11 registered apartment buildings with 396 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 53 Generation Blvd (696 m, 12 units, 3 storeys, built 1975), which scored 79 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 83, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 396 units · tallest 3 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.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 West Rouge.
