Bathurst & Lytton

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 10, 1984

The south leg carries the load — 7,793 northbound vehicles, or 49% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 72. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,480 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,473 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 42 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1984, 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: 2,480 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,473 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).

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 Bathurst St between Lytton Blvd and Hillmount Ave (45 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 33,100 vehicles a day.

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.
