Bathurst & Danby

Traffic volume8-hour count · Sep 28, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 7,139 southbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 161. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,063 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,106 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% 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: 2,063 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,106 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

2024 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 17% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 13, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal, the latest on Jun 18, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

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 2008

The City's counter on Bathurst St between Danby Ave and Ellison Ave (47 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2008; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 15,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

54 registered apartment buildings with 2,122 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, three of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 3.6× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 4190 Bathurst St (95 m, 80 units, 9 storeys, built 1966), which scored 93 out of 100 at its September 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

54 registered buildings · 2,122 units · 3 social housing · tallest 18 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 14 thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 2.3× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 10 in 2023–2025, about 3.3 a year, against 0.6 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 28, 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 Lansing-Westgate.
