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 · Feb 19, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 17,918 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 124 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,797 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 2,956 from 2:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,797 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 2,956 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).

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, 55 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bayview Ave · Highland Cres – York Rd · 55 m | Oct 2018 · 3 days | 30,928 | 56 km/h | 67 km/h | 72 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.
