Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jan 21, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,023 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 964 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,241 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,413 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% 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 21 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,241 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,413 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

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 (348 m away, Jun 2017) recorded volume only — about 15,189 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
