Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P).

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 15, 2025 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,848 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 4,983 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,118 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 2,150 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Wilson Heights Blvd between Cocksfield Ave and Codsell Ave, 202 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2023 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 10,100 vehicles a day. Sheppard Ave W between Lane E of Wilson Heights and S of Sheppard and Wilson Heights Blvd measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (May 2025).

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Sheppard Ave W · Lane E of Wilson Heights and S of Sheppard – Wilson Heights Blvd · 83 mMay 2025 · 3 days25,50142 km/h51 km/h57 km/h
Wilson Heights Blvd · Cocksfield Ave – Codsell Ave · 202 mAug 2023 · 3 days10,09352 km/h59 km/h65 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

Nothing in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jul 8, 2012. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
