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 · Jul 3, 2025

The east leg carries the load — 17,566 westbound vehicles, or 32% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 7,583. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,670 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (4,039). Trucks and buses were 8.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Questions

Is Jane & Steeles a dangerous intersection?

It is not among the worst. 3 serious-injury collisions were recorded in 2016–2025 (#133 of 1,505). High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.

Is Jane & Steeles a walkable intersection?

Jane & Steeles scores 37 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: 5 stops within 300 m · 10 routes within 1 km; nearest school 0.8 km · 1 licensed child care within 500 m; 3 grocery stores within 1 km · 15 within 1 km. The crossing itself: traffic signal · head start for people walking. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.

Is there a red-light camera at Jane & Steeles?

Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Jane & Steeles since 2021, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 116 tickets in 2025 (134 in 2024) and 45 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 1,756 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.
