Bathurst & Bridgman

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 5, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 9,485 northbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,268. Most cyclists arrived from the south (198 of 372). Morning rush is the busier period: 1,752 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:45 a.m., compared with 1,565 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,752 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,565 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

2019 was the peak year (13 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 22, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 23, 2010.

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

The City's counter on Bathurst St between Olive Ave and Vermont Ave (255 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 6-day count in June 2000; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Bridgman Ave between Kendal Ave and Dartnell Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Mar 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Bridgman Avenue between Bathurst St and Kendal Ave.

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.

18 registered buildings · 895 units · 4 social housing · tallest 23 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place one theft from a vehicle and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Casa Loma.
