Live traffic camera
The City's RESCU camera at Steeles Ave E & Kennedy Rd — a 320 × 240 still the City replaces every few minutes, with the frame's age and its four fixed reference views
The City's own feed for Steeles & Kennedy, published as a 320 × 240 still that its server replaces every few minutes — the card checks for a new frame every 45 seconds while you are on the page (Reload checks now) and says whether the frame changed. The fixed views are the City's reference stills showing where the camera points in each direction.

Emergency services
The nearest fire hall is Fire Station 241 (1.7 km) and the nearest ambulance station 2.3 km away.
Nearest station by straight line — not a response time, and not necessarily the station that would answer a call.
Parking
Every mapped lot within 2 km, Green P with peak occupancy, City EV charging and bike parking
Nearest lots: 53 m away, ≈74 spaces; 117 m away, ≈52 spaces; 123 m away, ≈226 spaces; 123 m away, ≈33 spaces; 195 m away, ≈41 spaces; 214 m away, ≈61 spaces.
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, Jan 31, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 7,846 eastbound vehicles, or 29% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 6,045. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,245 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (3,554). Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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 counter on Steeles Ave E between Kelvin Grove Ave and Kennedy Rd (217 m away) recorded an average of 54 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2024; 85% of drivers were at or under 61 km/h. That segment carries about 43,600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Canongate Trl (394 m away, 30 km/h limit), 13% of the 50,076 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kennedy Rd · Walkway S of Steeles and W of Kennedy – Steeles Ave E · 127 m | Jun 2016 · 3 days | 36,954 | — | — | — |
| Steeles Ave E · Kelvin Grove Ave – Kennedy Rd · 217 m | Nov 2024 · 3 days | 43,619 | 54 km/h | 61 km/h | 66 km/h |
School-zone speed sign 394 m
Canongate Trl (southbound), 121 Canongate Trail · 50,076 vehicles logged in July 2026 · runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.

Killed or seriously injured
Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%.

| Involving a motorcyclist | 0 | |
| In darkness | 2 | 67% here vs 39% citywide |
| All KSI since 2006 | 4 | latest Apr 18, 2022 |
KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.
Thefts reported at this corner
Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025

Other offences are published by neighbourhood only.
