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 · Jan 31, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,052 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 5,400 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 4,868 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 4,067 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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: 4,067 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,868 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).

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 Warden & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 4 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 Warden & Steeles?
A heavily travelled arterial crossing 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 Warden & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Warden & Steeles scores 40 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: nearest school 0.9 km · 1 licensed child care within 500 m; 8 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; library 615 m away. 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 Warden & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Warden & Steeles since 2022, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 41 tickets in 2025 (37 in 2024) and 22 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 159 since it was switched on.
How many red-light camera tickets are issued at Warden & Steeles?

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.
Where can I park near Warden & Steeles?
