Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 19, 2024
The north leg carries the load — 17,855 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 619. Most cyclists arrived from the south (31 of 57). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,998 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,998 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,998 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,998 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2011
The City's counter on Bayview Ave between Belle Geste Lane and Forest Heights Blvd (340 m away) recorded an average of 61 km/h in its 24-hour count in January 2001; 85% of drivers were at or under 69 km/h. That segment carries about 31,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Fifeshire Rd between Toba Dr and Chieftain Cres measured slower: 41 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 51 km/h (Aug 2011) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
