Traffic volume14-hour count · Jul 25, 2026 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,374 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,200 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,935 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,417 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: 1,417 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,935 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

The worst year was 2018, with 63 collisions; 2025 recorded 54. 66 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 82 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 36 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 23 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 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 Oct 8, 2019. Going back to 2006, the total is 7.

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

The City's most recent midblock count on Bathurst St between Dundas St W and Nassau St (367 m away, May 2015) recorded volume only — about 11,448 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Bathurst St (94 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 9,574 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

Speed sign

Bathurst St (northbound), 94 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 18 km/h, 85th percentile 34 km/h; 0.5% at 50 km/h or more. 9,574 vehicles logged in June 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

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.

The nearest is 99 Bellevue Ave (349 m, 16 units, 4 storeys, built 1988), which scored 72 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

18 registered buildings · 1,058 units · 5 social housing · tallest 16 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.

51 thefts from vehicles and 11 bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 10× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 8 in 2023–2025, about 2.7 a year, against 7.7 a year before that. 92% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 55% 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 Kensington-Chinatown.
