Bathurst & Lonsmount

Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 22, 2010

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,026 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 216 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,962 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,828 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 2,962 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,828 from 4:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 5 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 4, 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 (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Sep 4, 2026.

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

On Bathurst St between Heathdale Rd and Ridgewood Rd, 323 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2018 put the average speed at 64 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 88 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lonsmount Dr between Lonsdale Rd and Bathurst St measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (May 2012). 2 speed humps slow traffic on Lonsmount Drive between Bathurst St and Lonsdale Rd.

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 94 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 5,492 rental units, 6.3× the median for a Toronto intersection — nine social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1596-1598 Bathurst St (20 m, 62 units, 5 storeys, built 1960), which scored 88 out of 100 at its October 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 90, about the citywide norm.

94 registered buildings · 5,492 units · 9 social housing · tallest 30 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.

Four thefts from vehicles and five bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 40% of the bike thefts were from house driveways and garages.

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.
