Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
The east leg carries the load — 7,579 westbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 327. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,376 vehicles in the hour from 4:15 p.m., 70% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,398). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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: 1,398 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,376 from 4:15 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
2019 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 57% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 16, 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 May 26, 2020.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
The City's counter on Steeles Ave W between Irondale Dr and Klondike Dr (343 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h. That segment carries about 39,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
