Bathurst & Lonsdale

Traffic volume14-hour count · Dec 2, 2025

The south leg carries the load — 12,603 northbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 776. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,436 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,393 from 5:15 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Peak hours: 2,436 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,393 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).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Lonsdale Rd between Lonsmount Dr and Bathurst St (75 m away) recorded an average of 33 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Claxton Blvd between Raglan Ave and Kenwood Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Lonsdale Road between Bathurst St and Lonsmount Dr.

Traffic calming

Lonsdale Road (Bathurst St – Lonsmount Dr): 2 speed humps

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.

Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 12, 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 Forest Hill South.
