The latest City count averages about 2,670 vehicles an hour over its 8-hour span, 2.3× the median counted intersection. Foot traffic runs at about one pedestrian per 258 vehicles — this is a car-dominated crossing (median: one per 13). That comes with about 2.2 reported collisions a year, 2016–2025 — roughly the median for a Toronto intersection. Collisions rose 44%, from 9 in 2016–2020 to 13 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 22 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Lot count and area from the City's topographic mapping of parking-lot footprints (every visible surface lot, public or private); spaces are estimated at one per 30 m² of lot. Lots not run by Green P are private, commercial or institutional and may be for customers or residents only. Green P spaces and average daily peak occupancy from the Toronto Parking Authority's quarterly dataset (* = capacity from the 2019 car-park list; rates are not shown because that list is stale — check Green P). EV chargers are City-operated only; on-street and underground parking are not included.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Dec 10, 2022 (a weekend day)

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,238 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 1,929 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,155 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,938 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,183 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.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's most recent midblock count on Steeles Ave W between Turbine Dr and Fenmar Dr (177 m away, May 2014) recorded volume only — about 19,666 vehicles a day — with no speed data.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Steeles Ave W · Turbine Dr – Fenmar Dr · 177 mMay 2014 · 3 days19,666
Fenmar Dr · Garyray Dr – Steeles Ave W · 255 mJun 2016 · 3 days10,397

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
