Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 16, 2024 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,385 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 5,025 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (423 of 837). Evening rush dominates here: 2,178 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,934 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,934 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,178 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

All KSI since 20064latest Mar 29, 2019

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 2017

On Bayview Ave between Bayview S and Rosedale Valley Rd, 24 m from the corner, a 2-day count in August 2017 put the average speed at 67 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 80 km/h or more.
