Prince Arthur & Huron

Traffic volume8-hour count · May 5, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,362 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 1,039 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (413 of 690). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 543 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (446). 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 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 543 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 446 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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

On Huron St between Prince Arthur Ave and Huron Street Playground Trl, 42 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 36 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Huron St (215 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 27,962 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 58 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 4,785 rental units, 3.9× the median for a Toronto intersection — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 25 Madison Ave (51 m, 12 units, 4 storeys, built 1989), which scored 88 out of 100 at its December 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. Two buildings of the 58 scored below 70; the average is 88, about the citywide norm.

58 registered buildings · 4,785 units · 3 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.

23 thefts from vehicles and six bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 4.8× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has picked up: 12 in 2023–2025, about 4.0 a year, against 2.4 a year before that. 91% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots; 67% of the bike thefts were from apartment-building parking. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on May 31, 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 Annex.
