Broadview & Pretoria

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 18, 2016

The north leg carries the load — 4,133 southbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 761. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,245 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,302 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.6% 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 2016, 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: 1,245 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,302 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

2022 was the peak year (17 collisions), and 2025 closed with 16. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 1, 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 2018

The City's counter on Broadview Ave between Pretoria Ave and Browning Ave (148 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 4-day count in April 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 57 km/h. That segment carries about 16,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pretoria Ave between Cambridge Ave and Broadview Ave measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Apr 2008).

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.

23 registered apartment buildings with 2,145 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 818 Broadview Ave (55 m, 31 units, 3 storeys, built 1950), which scored 91 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 23 scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

23 registered buildings · 2,145 units · 2 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 15 thefts from vehicles and four bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — 3.2× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.9 a year. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on May 25, 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.
