Arrow & Deerhide (South)

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 5, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,354 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 441. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,170 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,026). Trucks and buses were 12.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 1,026 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,170 from 4:45 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

2020 was the peak year (7 collisions), and 2025 closed with 3. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 10, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 2022

The City's counter on Arrow Rd between Lido Rd and Deerhide Cres (385 m away) recorded an average of 57 km/h in its 24-hour count in June 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 66 km/h. That segment carries about 10,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.

Toronto Police place seven thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 86% of the vehicle 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 Humbermede.
