Bayview & Broadway

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 19, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,184 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 2,967 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,084 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,802). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,084 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,802 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 2017, with 24 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 19 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 18, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 13, 2016.

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 Bayview Ave between Kilgour Rd and Sherwood Park Trl, 352 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2014 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 36,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Broadway Ave between Walder Ave and McBain Ave measured slower: 23 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 31 km/h (May 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 11 speed humps slow traffic on Broadway Avenue between Mount Pleasant Rd and Bayview Ave (installed 2005).

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.

The nearest is 1833 Bayview Ave (128 m, 112 units, 4 storeys, built 1965), which scored 90 out of 100 at its July 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

14 registered buildings · 926 units · tallest 12 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.

Three thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Leaside-Bennington.
