Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 31, 2023
The west leg carries the load — 12,302 eastbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,887. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,725 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 17% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (4,053). Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 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.
Peak hours: 4,053 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,725 from 5:00 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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 Victoria Park & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
Not by the record: no one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025 and police reported no 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 Victoria Park & Steeles?
A major arterial intersection at the City's last count here, in 2023. Its latest count is from Jan 31, 2023, 3.3× today's median for a counted intersection.
Is Victoria Park & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Victoria Park & Steeles scores 29 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: 9 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; 2 places to eat within 300 m; nearest park 1.4 km. The crossing itself: traffic signal · accessible signals. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.
Is there a red-light camera at Victoria Park & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Victoria Park & Steeles since 2023, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 1,100 tickets in 2025 (1,178 in 2024) and 576 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 4,419 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.
