Bathurst & Joicey

Traffic volume14-hour count · May 26, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 14,538 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 322 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (272 of 471). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,680 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,701 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 2,680 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,701 from 5:15 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 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 9 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 8, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Mar 7, 2022.

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 2014

On Joicey Blvd between Allard Ave and Falkirk St, 350 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2014 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 12 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.

Within a kilometre there are 70 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,691 rental units, 4.7× the median for a Toronto intersection — four social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1 Marquette Ave (42 m, 24 units, 4 storeys, built 1965), which scored 100 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

70 registered buildings · 1,691 units · 4 social housing · tallest 19 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.

Six thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 33% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Englemount-Lawrence.
