Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 14,030 vehicles entering from the east to 15,582 from the north. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 4,909 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (4,462). Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 4,462 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,909 from 4:45 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2004
The City's counter on Yonge St between Abitibi Ave and Nipigon Ave (146 m away) recorded an average of 45 km/h in its 3-day count in August 2004; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 52,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · Abitibi Ave – Nipigon Ave · 146 m | Aug 2004 · 3 days | 52,892 | 45 km/h | 58 km/h | 64 km/h |

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.

Questions
Is Yonge & Steeles a dangerous intersection?
It is not among the worst. 1 serious-injury collision was recorded in 2016–2025, out of 8 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 Yonge & Steeles?
One of the ten busiest intersections in Toronto. It ranks #7 of 2,438 counted intersections for vehicles, 3.7× the median for a counted intersection, and #257 for pedestrians.
Is Yonge & Steeles a walkable intersection?
Yonge & Steeles scores 51 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure — #2,579 of 5,672 Toronto intersections; 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: 1 grocery store within 300 m · 6 places to eat within 300 m; 8 stops within 300 m · 8 routes within 1 km; 1 school within 500 m · 3 licensed child cares within 1 km. The crossing itself: traffic signal · head start for people walking. Steeles Avenue is the city limit, so nothing on the north side of the street is counted.
Is there a red-light camera at Yonge & Steeles?
Yes. A red-light camera has operated at Yonge & Steeles since 2017, according to the City of Toronto's red-light camera list. It issued 739 tickets in 2025 (182 in 2024) and 374 in 2026 through Jun 30, 2026; 1,789 since it was switched on.
How many red-light camera tickets are issued at Yonge & 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.
How fast do cars go at Yonge & Steeles?
