Arundel & Browning

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 20, 2022

The west leg carries the load — 847 eastbound vehicles, or 66% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 441. Most cyclists arrived from the west (65 of 108). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 241 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 42% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (170). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 170 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 241 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

2016 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 15% of collisions here involved an injury. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 46% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 25, 2026.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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 2002

The City's counter on Arundel Ave between Ainsworth Rd and Browning Ave (151 m away) recorded an average of 36 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 44 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 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.

32 registered apartment buildings with 2,333 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, one of them social or Toronto Community Housing — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 869 Broadview Ave (575 m, 15 units, 3 storeys, built 2004), which scored 68 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 32 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

32 registered buildings · 2,333 units · 1 social housing · tallest 24 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 seven thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 5 in 2023–2025, about 1.7 a year, against 0.9 a year before that. 86% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jan 11, 2026.

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 Playter Estates-Danforth.
