Bathurst & Vaughan

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 5, 2024

The north leg carries the load — 14,469 southbound vehicles, or 54% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 71. Most cyclists arrived from the north (323 of 522). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,155 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,227 from 3:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,155 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,227 from 3:45 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

2024 was the peak year (27 collisions), and 2025 closed with 14. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 2% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jun 22, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 2006

The City's counter on Helena Ave between Lane W of Vaughan and S of Hocken and Wychwood Ave (260 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 3-day count in July 2006; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Helena Avenue between Wychwood Ave and Bathurst St.

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.

97 registered apartment buildings with 5,726 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, 13 of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 6.5× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 1383 Bathurst St (54 m, 30 units, 3 storeys, built 1918), which scored 70 out of 100 at its July 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

97 registered buildings · 5,726 units · 13 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.

Toronto Police place four thefts from vehicles and six bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.0 a year. 33% of the bike thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

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 Casa Loma.
