Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 21, 2025
The east leg carries the load — 17,017 westbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 10,899. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 5,353 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (4,856). Trucks and buses were 7.0% 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 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,856 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 5,353 from 4:30 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 (68 collisions), and 2025 closed with 46. 15% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 44 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 36 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
Of the six serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt; 3 collisions involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 6 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. 2018 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Sep 17, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 10.

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 Carmen Principato Way and Steeles Ave W (79 m away, Jun 2017) recorded volume only — about 15,189 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Within a walk
What the City's own records put within a walk of this corner — distances are the walk along real streets and paths. Shops, banks, gyms and clinics are in no City dataset, so they are not here.
Steeles Avenue is the city limit. Everything on the north side of the street is in Vaughan or Markham and outside every Toronto dataset on this page — the restaurants, shops and services across the road are not counted, on the map or in the score below.

Questions
Is Keele & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
By serious injuries, yes: it ranks #5 of 1,505 for killed-or-seriously-injured collisions in 2016–2025. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.
How busy is Keele & Steeles?
One of the ten busiest intersections in Toronto. It ranks #8 of 2,438 counted intersections for vehicles, 3.6× the median for a counted intersection.
Is Keele & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Keele & Steeles scores 27 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure; the city median is 48. It counts what the City's own records put within a walk — food premises, transit, libraries, parks, schools, licensed child care — not shops, banks or clinics, which no City dataset lists. Within a walk: 1 park within 500 m · nearest centre 1.4 km; 2 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; 2 places to eat within 300 m. The crossing itself: traffic signal. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.
Is there a red-light camera at Keele & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Keele & Steeles since 2017, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 18 tickets in 2025 (0 in 2024) and 77 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 709 since it was switched on.
How many red-light camera tickets are issued at Keele & Steeles?

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee. It carries no demerit points and does not touch anyone's driving record, because the notice goes to the vehicle's registered owner regardless of who was driving.
Where can I park near Keele & Steeles?
The nearest Green P car park is 2800 Steeles Ave W. (1.4 km away, 1,881 spaces). The City's mapping shows 143 parking lots of any kind within 2 km — roughly 36,710 spaces — 6 of them within 500 m; most are private or customer-only lots.
