Keele & St Regis

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 15, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,527 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 56 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,265 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,444 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.7% 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 2021, 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: 1,444 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,265 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

The worst year was 2019, with 42 collisions; 2025 recorded 36. 52 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 54 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 27 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 28 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.

None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 4 pedestrians were among those hurt. 3 of the 4 happened in darkness — 75%, above the citywide 39%. 2025 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Dec 11, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 5. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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 St Regis Cres and Ashwarren Rd (104 m away, May 2013) recorded volume only — about 21,724 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.

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 ten RentSafeTO-registered apartment buildings — 1,393 rental units — two social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 3680 Keele St (105 m, 238 units, 3 storeys, built 1970), which scored 98 out of 100 at its August 2025 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 89, about the citywide norm.

10 registered buildings · 1,393 units · 2 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.

13 thefts from vehicles and two bike thefts were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — 2.5× the median for a Toronto intersection with any reported theft. The pace has been steady at around 1.5 a year. 69% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Jun 20, 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 York University Heights.
