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 · Oct 2, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,000 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 265 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,460 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,555 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 3,460 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,555 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 4 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from May 20, 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
On Bayview Ave between Belle Geste Lane and Forest Heights Blvd, 143 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in January 2001 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. 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. Wimpole Dr between Bayview Ave and Gerald St measured slower: 48 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 56 km/h (Apr 2002).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wimpole Dr · Bayview Ave – Gerald St · 141 m | Apr 2002 · 24 h | 1,377 | 48 km/h | 56 km/h | 111 km/h |
| Bayview Ave · Belle Geste Lane – Forest Heights Blvd · 143 m | Jan 2001 · 24 h | 31,593 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 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.
