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
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 14,618 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 2,831 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (133 of 328). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,041 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,943 from 3:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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: 3,041 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,943 from 3:15 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
The worst year was 2024, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 9 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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 2021
On Bayview Ave between Nesbitt Dr and Pottery Rd, 38 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Nesbitt Dr between Governor's Rd and Douglas Cres measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2002). 3 speed humps slow traffic on Nesbitt Drive between Bayview Ave and Governors Road (installed 2004).
