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 · Sep 29, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 11,931 southbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 163. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,208 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,847). Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 2,847 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,208 from 2:00 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
2019 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 23% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Aug 14, 2026.

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 2002
The City's counter on Bayview Ave between Belle Geste Lane and Forest Heights Blvd (115 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. Old Colony Rd between Bayview Ave and Gerald St measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Apr 2002).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bayview Ave · Belle Geste Lane – Forest Heights Blvd · 115 m | Jan 2001 · 24 h | 31,593 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 km/h |
| Old Colony Rd · Bayview Ave – Gerald St · 162 m | Apr 2002 · 24 h | 386 | 33 km/h | 44 km/h | 49 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.
