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 west leg carries the load — 8,981 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 12. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,649 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (1,775). Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% 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: 1,775 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,649 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
2017 was the peak year (16 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 10% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 1% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). The most recent report on file is from Nov 12, 2025.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 7, 2012.

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 Northwest Gt and Murray Ross Pkwy (253 m away) recorded an average of 64 km/h in its 2-day count in September 2019; 85% of drivers were at or under 73 km/h. That segment carries about 28,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
