Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 19, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,607 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 111 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,574 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,369 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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

On Bathurst St between Stafford Rd and Kingsbridge Crt, 183 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2004 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Yorkview Dr (392 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.0% of the 24,850 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
