Bloor & Jackson

Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 8,040 eastbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 367. Most cyclists arrived from the west (309 of 609). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,255 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,302 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,255 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,302 from 6:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Bloor St W between Cliveden Ave and Brentwood Rd S (350 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 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.

Toronto Police place six thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 67% of the vehicle thefts were from the street or other outdoor spots.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Stonegate-Queensway.
