Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,439 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 3,842 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,230 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,971 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,971 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,230 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
The worst year was 2019, with 73 collisions; 2025 recorded 23. 56 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 68 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 18 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jan 7, 2022. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.

Is Middlefield & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 403 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.

Is Middlefield & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Middlefield & Steeles scores 56 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #2,051 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; 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 grocery store within 300 m · 21 places to eat within 300 m; nearest park 0.7 km · 1 community centre within 800 m; 8 stops within 300 m · 8 routes within 1 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 Middlefield & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Middlefield & Steeles since 2022, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 134 tickets in 2025 (181 in 2024) and 55 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 654 since it was switched on.

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.
