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 volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
The east leg carries the load — 6,944 westbound vehicles, or 30% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 5,213. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,731 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 105% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,821). Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 1,821 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,731 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
2023 was the peak year (3 collisions), and 2025 closed with 2. 0% of collisions here involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 15, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 30, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.
Traffic on these streets

Questions
Is Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 10 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 Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W?
A major arterial intersection at the City's last count here, in 2022. Its latest count is from Dec 10, 2022, 2.5× today's median for a counted intersection.
Is Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W a walkable intersection?
Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W scores 32 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: 4 stops within 300 m · 6 routes within 1 km; 1 school within 500 m; 2 grocery stores within 1 km · 1 place to eat within 300 m. The crossing itself: traffic signal. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.
Is there a red-light camera at Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Hwy 27 N & Steeles Ave W since 2019, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 187 tickets in 2025 (191 in 2024) and 84 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 1,080 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.
