Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 29, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 18,483 northbound vehicles, or 34% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 9,573. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,340 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,250 from 6:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 4,340 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,250 from 6:00 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

2016 was the peak year (166 collisions), and 2025 closed with 63. 11% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 91 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 59 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 18, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 W between Beecroft Rd and Albert Standing Park Trl (211 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 23,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Yonge St between Harlandale Ave and Greenfield Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Jun 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Greenfield Ave (245 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 41,368 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Greenfield Ave (eastbound), 245 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 24 km/h, 85th percentile 34 km/h; 0.1% at 50 km/h or more. 41,368 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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 1,708 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner. The nearest is 35 Greenfield Ave (319 m, 361 units, 36 storeys, built 2020), which scored 98 out of 100 at its June 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 97, above the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 1,708 units · tallest 36 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 33 thefts from vehicles and 25 bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 9.7× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 24 in 2023–2025, about 8.0 a year, against 4.9 a year before that. 79% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 52% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Apr 19, 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 Yonge-Doris.
