Keele & Milford

Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 24, 2026

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The south leg carries the load — 11,514 northbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 812. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,840 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,891 from 5:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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: 1,840 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,891 from 5:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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 Walkway N of Gulliver and W of Keele and Flamborough Dr (278 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in February 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h.

Toronto Police place three thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

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 Brookhaven-Amesbury.
