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: 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 16,177 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: 1,938 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,155 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).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2024, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 5 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

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 Steeles & Fenmar a dangerous intersection?

It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 22 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 Steeles & Fenmar?

A heavily travelled arterial crossing at the City's last count here, in 2022. Its latest count is from Dec 10, 2022, 2.3× today's median for a counted intersection.

Is Steeles & Fenmar a walkable intersection?

Steeles & Fenmar scores 25 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: 2 stops within 300 m · 11 routes within 1 km; nearest park 0.9 km; 1 place to eat within 300 m. 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 Steeles & Fenmar?

Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Steeles & Fenmar since 2023, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 696 tickets in 2025 (593 in 2024) and 393 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 2,338 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.
