Queen's & Arkwright

Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 24, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 1,654 eastbound vehicles, or 61% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 270. Morning rush is the busier period: 471 vehicles in the peak hour from 9:00 a.m., compared with 323 from 2:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 471 vehicles in the hour from 9:00 a.m. and 323 from 2:15 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

2023 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 10% of collisions here involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions. People walking or cycling were involved in 10% 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 May 5, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 26, 2023.

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 2019

The City's counter on Queen's Dr between Arkwright St and Bluebell Gt (183 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 2-day count in April 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 40 km/h. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 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.

Seven registered apartment buildings with 553 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1855 Jane St (749 m, 206 units, 17 storeys, built 1970), which scored 96 out of 100 at its July 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 87, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

7 registered buildings · 553 units · 2 social housing · tallest 17 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 one theft from a vehicle and one bicycle theft at this intersection in 2016–2025.

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 Rustic.
