Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 19, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 17,330 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 9,314 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,657 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,687 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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: 4,657 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 4,687 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2018
On Bayview Ave between Highland Cres and York Rd, 276 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2018 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 30,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
