Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,320 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 349 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,438 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,945 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,945 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,438 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 2016, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 14 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2018
On Sheppard Ave E between Longmore St and Wilfred Ave, 99 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 60 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 28,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
