Jane & Alliance

Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 15, 2018

The south leg carries the load — 6,295 northbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 16. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,083 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,193 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 2,083 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,193 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

2019 was the peak year (26 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 19% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Aug 8, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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 Alliance Ave between Dalrymple Dr and Walkway E of Jane and N of Alliance (327 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 24-hour count in September 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Jane St between Sandcliff Rd and East Dr measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Nov 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

15 registered apartment buildings with 1,960 rental units stand within a kilometre of the corner, two of them social or Toronto Community Housing. The nearest is 890 Jane St (66 m, 146 units, 15 storeys, built 1973), which scored 92 out of 100 at its August 2024 RentSafeTO evaluation. None scored below 70; the average is 91, about the citywide norm.

15 registered buildings · 1,960 units · 2 social housing · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Toronto Police place eight thefts from vehicles and no bicycle thefts at this intersection in 2016–2025 — about the median for an intersection with any reported theft. 75% 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 Rockcliffe-Smythe.
