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 · Dec 9, 1997
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 12,164 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 136 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,563 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,833 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 29 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1997, 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.
Peak hours: 3,563 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,833 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).

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 Highland Cres and York Rd, 55 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 30,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Highland Cres between Bayview Ridge and Glenridge Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bayview Ave · Highland Cres – York Rd · 55 m | Oct 2018 · 3 days | 30,928 | 56 km/h | 67 km/h | 72 km/h |
| Highland Cres · Bayview Ridge – Glenridge Ave · 341 m | Apr 2026 · 3 days | 1,232 | 39 km/h | 47 km/h | 50 km/h |
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.
