Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 6,077 and 7,336 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 4,121 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,458 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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: 2,458 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 4,121 from 2:00 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 9 collisions. 7 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; 2 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on May 5, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 8.

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.

Questions
Is Bathurst & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #60 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.

A high-volume crossing at the City's last count here, in 2022. Its latest count is from Dec 10, 2022, 3.0× today's median for a counted intersection.
Is Bathurst & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Bathurst & Steeles scores 52 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #2,369 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; the city median is 48. It counts what the City's own records put within a walk — food premises, transit, libraries, parks, schools, licensed child care — not shops, banks or clinics, which no City dataset lists. Within a walk: 2 grocery stores within 300 m · 9 places to eat within 300 m; 15 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; nearest park 1.2 km · nearest centre 1.5 km. The crossing itself: traffic signal · accessible signals. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.
Is there a red-light camera at Bathurst & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Bathurst & Steeles since 2021, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 237 tickets in 2025 (224 in 2024) and 121 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 1,004 since it was switched on.

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee. It carries no demerit points and does not touch anyone's driving record, because the notice goes to the vehicle's registered owner regardless of who was driving.
Where can I park near Bathurst & Steeles?
