Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,888 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 8,313 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,994 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,629 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,629 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,994 from 4:00 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
The worst year was 2016, with 106 collisions; 2025 recorded 42. 85 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 71 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 20 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 38 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The last one inside the window was in 2023. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Jun 4, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 8. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 2022
On Bathurst St between Reiner Rd and McAllister Rd, 288 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 21,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Bathurst St · Reiner Rd – McAllister Rd · 288 m | Jun 2022 · 3 days | 21,502 | 50 km/h | 58 km/h | 64 km/h |
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.
