Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 16, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 13,304 vehicles entering from the east to 15,170 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (53 of 85). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,127 vehicles in the hour from 2:15 p.m., 23% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (4,177). Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,177 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 5,127 from 2:15 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
2017 was the peak year (84 collisions), and 2025 closed with 66. 13% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 37 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 41 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 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 darkness. The most recent was on May 17, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Bayview Ave between Finch Ave E and Ruddington Dr (170 m away) recorded an average of 52 km/h in its 3-day count in June 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 25,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Finch Ave E between Winlock Pk and Manorcrest Dr measured slower: 51 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Jul 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Bayview Ave (210 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 45,153 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
