Bathurst & Codsell

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 19, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 9,168 southbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 1,323. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,750 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,912 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 2,750 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,912 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

2023 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jul 16, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 2011

The City's counter on Codsell Ave between Hove St and Bryant St (369 m away) recorded an average of 35 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 43 km/h. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Codsell Avenue between Tillplain Rd and Bathurst St (installed 2025).

Traffic calming

Codsell Avenue (Tillplain Rd – Bathurst St): 4 speed humps (installed 2025)

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.

Toronto Police place 27 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 4.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 11 in 2023–2025, about 3.7 a year, against 2.3 a year before that. 81% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 16, 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 Bathurst Manor.
