Keele & Calvington

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 26, 2022 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. The south leg carries the load — 8,488 northbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 963. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,703 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 58% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,712). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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 5 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: 1,712 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,703 from 4:00 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

2018 was the peak year (28 collisions), and 2025 closed with 21. 17% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 29 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 19 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The last one inside the window was in 2020. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Oct 4, 2026. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Keele St between Wandle Ave and Lane S of Keelegate and E of Keele (200 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Blaydon Ave (302 m away, 40 km/h limit), 2.8% of the 17,329 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.

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.

31 registered apartment buildings with 885 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner — 2.1× the median for a Toronto intersection. The nearest is 11 Calvington Dr (56 m, 11 units, 3 storeys, built 1945), which scored 90 out of 100 at its August 2026 RentSafeTO evaluation. Three buildings of the 31 scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

31 registered buildings · 885 units · tallest 11 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 ten thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. The pace has slowed: 1 in 2023–2025, about 0.3 a year, against 1.3 a year before that. 100% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Mar 17, 2026.

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 Downsview.
