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 · Jul 14, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,375 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 69 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,815 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,207 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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.

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, 307 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.
