Bathurst & Strathearn

Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 13, 2026

Peak hours: 2,542 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,543 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

Police records place no theft from a vehicle or bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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.
