Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 21, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 490 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 76% of the total, against 50 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 108 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (95). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 108 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 95 from 4:15 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 2025.

| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 3 | |
| Fail to remain | 0 | |

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 2002
On Arundel Ave between Ainsworth Rd and Browning Ave, 151 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2002 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arundel Ave · Ainsworth Rd – Browning Ave · 151 m | Nov 2002 · 24 h | 691 | 36 km/h | 44 km/h | 48 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.
