Sheppard & Yeomans

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend

The west leg carries the load — 11,206 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 797. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,264 vehicles in the hour from 3:30 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,433). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 1,433 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,264 from 3:30 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

2024 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 10. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 29, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 2008

The City's counter on Sheppard Ave W between Yeomans Rd and Maxwell St (100 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 24,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Yeomans Rd between Alexis Blvd and Sheppard Ave W measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Aug 2007).

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.

20 registered apartment buildings with 2,117 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 4350 Bathurst St (503 m, 35 units, 6 storeys, built 1969), which scored 98 out of 100 at its September 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

20 registered buildings · 2,117 units · 3 social housing · tallest 21 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 eight thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 0 in 2023–2025, about 0.0 a year, against 2.0 a year before that. 88% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 83% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking.

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 Clanton Park.
