Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 17,679 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 3,336. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,279 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (3,035). Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

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

The City's most recent midblock count on Bayview Ave between Bayview Mews Lane and Meadow Larkway (40 m away, Nov 2013) recorded volume only — about 40,106 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Spring Garden Ave (125 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 32,424 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Thefts reported at this corner

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