Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 31, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 456 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 73% of the total, against 170 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 124 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (109). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

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

On Bain Ave between Lane E of Broadview and N of Bain and Ingham Ave, 89 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 23 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 29 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 33 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bain Ave C (115 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 31,980 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Bain Avenue between Ingham Ave and Logan Ave (installed 2004), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
