Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Apr 14, 2026

The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 3,345 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,547 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).

Questions
Is Hilda & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 3 serious-injury collisions were recorded in 2016–2025 (#160 of 1,505), out of 129 reported collisions of any severity. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.
How busy is Hilda & Steeles?
A high-volume crossing. It ranks #110 of 2,438 counted intersections for vehicles, 2.5× the median for a counted intersection.
Is Hilda & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Hilda & Steeles scores 33 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure; 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 schools within 500 m · 1 licensed child care within 500 m; 6 stops within 300 m · 8 routes within 1 km; nearest park 1 km · nearest centre 1.1 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 Hilda & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Hilda & Steeles since 2007, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 889 tickets in 2025 (936 in 2024) and 620 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 15,783 since it was switched on.
How many red-light camera tickets are issued at Hilda & Steeles?

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.
