Sherway Gardens Rd & Sherway Gt

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 26, 2012

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,012 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,854 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,258 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 658 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 658 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,258 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 worst year was 2023, with 102 collisions; 2025 recorded 77. 30 collisions (4%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 322 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 43% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 59 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 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.

Traffic on these streets

The City's most recent midblock count on Sherway Gardens Rd between Gardiner Expy Express W and Sherway Gt (240 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 7,533 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.

Not within a walk: a community centre, licensed child care, a library, a public washroom or a care or retirement home.

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.

Within a kilometre there are three RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 135 rental units. The nearest is 625 Evans Ave (676 m, 85 units, 11 storeys, built 1967), which scored 93 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

3 registered buildings · 135 units · tallest 11 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.

120 thefts from vehicles and 12 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 22× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 13.2 a year. 89% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 42% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 3 more have been reported, the latest on Jun 14, 2026.

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 Etobicoke City Centre.
