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 · Mar 24, 2026
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 11,553 vehicles entering from the south to 13,587 from the east. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,364 vehicles in the hour from 5:15 p.m., 8% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (4,023). Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 4,023 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,364 from 5:15 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
2016 was the peak year (117 collisions), and 2025 closed with 62. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 109 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 5% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 56 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.
Of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 3 pedestrians were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. All happened in daylight or lit conditions (citywide, 39% of KSI collisions occur in darkness). 2019 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Jul 17, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 8.

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
The City's most recent midblock count on Keele St between Lawrence Ave W and Wyndale Dr (54 m away, Jun 2017) recorded volume only — about 21,552 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

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.
