Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 1, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,925 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 340 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,354 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,250 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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: 1,250 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,354 from 5:00 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 10 collisions. 9 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 14, 2026.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Oct 23, 2015.

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

On Donald Ave between Scott Rd and Lane E of Keele and N of Dunraven, 123 m from the corner, a 4-day count in October 2001 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Keele St between Dunraven Dr and Donald Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (94 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 76,224 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.

Speed sign

Keele St (southbound), 94 m — 50 km/h zone. Median 43 km/h, 85th percentile 50 km/h; 1.3% at 60 km/h or more. 76,224 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

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.

Within a kilometre there are 11 RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 618 rental units — three social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 1720 Keele St (127 m, 47 units, 4 storeys, built 1955), which scored 74 out of 100 at its November 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 86, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

11 registered buildings · 618 units · 3 social housing · 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.

Seven thefts from vehicles and no bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 71% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 2 more have been reported, the latest on Apr 3, 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 Keelesdale-Eglinton West.
