Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,430 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,243 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,967 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,508 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,508 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,967 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

Questions
Is Martin Grove & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 3 reported collisions of any severity. 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 Martin Grove & Steeles?
A high-volume crossing at the City's last count here, in 2022. Its latest count is from Dec 10, 2022, 2.0× today's median for a counted intersection.
Is Martin Grove & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Martin Grove & 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: 5 stops within 300 m · 6 routes within 1 km; 3 grocery stores within 1 km · 6 within 1 km; nearest park 0.8 km. 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 Martin Grove & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Martin Grove & Steeles since 2021, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 402 tickets in 2025 (388 in 2024) and 220 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 2,534 since it was switched on.
How many red-light camera tickets are issued at Martin Grove & 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 Martin Grove & Steeles?
