Bayview & Kilgour

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 15,962 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 2,383 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (60 of 147). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,059 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 8% above the afternoon peak from 5:30 p.m. (2,821). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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: 3,059 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,821 from 5:30 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 2024, with 18 collisions; 2025 recorded 15. 17 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Feb 20, 2024.

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 2014

On Bayview Ave between Kilgour Rd and Sherwood Park Trl, 31 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.

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 1911 Bayview Ave (106 m, 20 units, 4 storeys, built 1911), which scored 88 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

6 registered buildings · 293 units · tallest 10 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.

One theft from a vehicle and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025.

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.
