Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 24, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,675 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 424 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (46 of 83). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 989 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 20% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (822). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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.
Peak hours: 989 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 822 from 5:00 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

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2013
On Bathurst St between Queens Quay W and Lake Shore Blvd W, 240 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2013 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bathurst St · Queens Quay W – Lake Shore Blvd W · 240 m | Jun 2013 · 3 days | 5,798 | 32 km/h | 42 km/h | 45 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.
