Bayview Ave & Old Brewery Lane Bayview Ramp

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 1, 2007

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,766 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 2,362 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,282 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,081 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% 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 2007, 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: 1,081 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,282 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 2018, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 10 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on Apr 10, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Bayview Ave between Lawren Harris Sq and Corktown Common Trl (Id: 30060870), 372 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2026 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day.

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.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025, though 1 has been reported since January 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Moss Park.
